Schaumburg Post Office Being Renamed In Honor Of War Veterans

SCHAUMBURG, IL — A post office at 450 West Schaumburg Road will be renamed to honor veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. U.S. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Schaumburg) announced this week last week the name change to "Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial Post Office Building."

The change follows the passing of the bipartisan legislation H.R. 6386 by President Joe Biden, according to Krishnamoorthi, who co-sponsored it.

"The debt that we owe the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to serve our country can never fully be repaid, but it is my hope that when members of our community visit the Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial Post Office, the only post office in the nation named after veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, they will be reminded of the debt of gratitude we all owe the heroes of our nation’s most recent conflicts," Krishnmoorthi said.

An official renaming ceremony is planned for later this year.
