Servicemembers and Veterans Passes House | 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 to designate the post office at 400 Southern Avenue SE in the District of Columbia as the “District of Columbia Servicemembers and Veterans Post Office” passed the House today. “District of Columbia residents have served, and continue to serve, their country in the armed forces despite being denied voting representation in Congress and 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. Currently, 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. Today’s House passage of my bill honors their service and sacrifice.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
