September 24, 2024

Washington, D.C. — H.R. 5867, introduced by Congressman Cory Mills (FL-07), to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 109 Live Oaks Boulevard in Casselberry, Florida, as the "Colonel Joseph William Kittinger II Post Office Building," unanimously passed the House of Representatives.

 

“I am proud to share that my bill, H.R. 5867, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 109 Live Oaks Boulevard in Casselberry, Florida, as the "Colonel Joseph William Kittinger II Post Office Building," has passed the House of Representatives. This bill will officially rename the Casselberry Post Office in honor of Colonel Joseph Kittinger, a true American legend from Florida’s 7th Congressional District. I’m honored to help recognize Colonel Kittinger's incredible legacy through this bill. Colonel Kittinger, an Air Force hero, set the world record for the highest parachute jump at 102,800 feet, endured nearly a year as a POW in Vietnam’s infamous 'Hanoi Hilton,' and became the first person to solo balloon across the Atlantic. His bravery, resilience, and legacy will continue to inspire future generations to push the limits of what's possible. As he said, ‘Life is an adventure, and I’m an adventurer,’” said Congressman Cory Mills.
