Fitzgerald Applauds Colonel Heg Post Office Bill Signed into Law | 2024-12-03 | 2024 | 2024-12 | Republican | House | WI | Scott Fitzgerald | F000471 | fitzgerald.house.gov | fitzgerald | https://fitzgerald.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement in response to his bill to rename the U.S. Post Office in Muskego in honor of Colonel Hans Christian Heg being signed into law. The bill, H.R. 7199, designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at S74w16860 Janesville Road, in Muskego, Wisconsin, as the “Colonel Hans Christian Heg Post Office.” Colonel Hans Christian Heg was a staunch abolitionist who was the highest-ranking Union casualty from Wisconsin in the Civil War. “After overwhelming support in the House and Senate, I am humbled to see my bill to rename the U.S. Post Office in Muskego in honor of Colonel Hans Christian Heg signed into law,” said Rep. Fitzgerald. “This bill is a tribute to the incredible legacy of Colonel Heg—a legacy he’s defined as a war hero, a patriot, and a staunch abolitionist. Colonel Heg will be remembered and revered for generations to come in Wisconsin, and this bill will help cement his role in American history.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
