The post office was renamed after legislation Reichert introduced, H.R. 1036, was signed into law earlier this year. Park Ranger Anderson’s heroic actions were remembered during a ceremony that included the unveiling of a plaque officially designating the Eatonville Post Office as a memorial in her honor. Upon this recognition, Reichert said, “I have lost friends and partners in the line of duty. I know just how difficult that loss is. I know that you never forget. Eatonville will never forget Margaret Anderson. Her family will never forget. With the renaming of Eatonville Post Office, we erect a permanent memorial in her honor, giving this community a visible, tangible reminder of her heroic actions and all of those who have committed their lives to serving others, and this community in particular. It was an honor to be able to introduce the legislation that made this possible, and it was an honor to be here today to celebrate Margaret Anderson’s life and memory.” Ranger Anderson was killed in the line of duty on January 1, 2012 while establishing a roadblock within Mt. Rainier National Park. Her actions prevented an armed suspect from venturing further into the park and endangering more lives. She made the ultimate sacrifice protecting others. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
