Servicemembers and Veterans on House Floor Today | 2022-12-12 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Democrat | House | DC | Eleanor Holmes Norton | N000147 | norton.house.gov | norton | https://norton.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced that her bill that would designate the post office at 400 Southern Avenue SE in the District of Columbia as the “District of Columbia Servicemembers and Veterans Post Office” will be on the House floor today for debate and a vote. The bill passed out of the Committee on Oversight and Reform in November. “We must recognize the special debt of gratitude our country owes to D.C. servicemembers and veterans, who serve or have served their country without voting representation in Congress or full local self-government,” Norton said. “It is remarkable that they serve a country that denies them basic democratic rights—rights they have often been sent overseas to defend. There are approximately 30,000 veterans who live in D.C., and almost 200,000 D.C. residents have served in the military since World War I. This bill is one way to recognize their service and sacrifice.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
