[Peace-discuss] Senate renaming Post Offices after military heroes

[Karen Medina]

[ okay, I am creeped out. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs is re-naming Post Offices after military
heroes. For instance, the ``John `Bud' Hawk Post Office'' in
Rollingbay, Washington. Sergeant John "Bud" Hawk received the Medal of
Honor, the U.S. military's highest commendation, from President Harry
S. Truman on July 13, 1945. ]
