WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi’s legislation to rename the St. Charles East Side Station Post Office as the Veterans of the Vietnam War Memorial Post Office was signed into law by President Joe Biden. The legislation unanimously passed the House 390-0 in October and the Senate via unanimous consent in April.

“By renaming the post office in St. Charles after the veterans who bravely served our country during the Vietnam War, it is my hope that our community will be constantly reminded of the sacrifices made by those men and women in uniform,” Congressman Krishnamoorthi said. “I’m grateful to President Biden for signing my bipartisan legislation into law, and I want to thank my colleagues in both chambers, particularly Senators Duckworth and Durbin, for supporting my bill’s unanimous passage in the House and Senate. I look forward to joining with local veterans in St. Charles in the coming months to celebrate the renaming of the post office in their honor.”

Congressman Krishnamoorthi introduced this post office renaming bill on March 29th, 2023, in honor of National Vietnam War Veterans Day with the support of local leaders and veterans groups from across Illinois’ Eighth Congressional District. The legislation has received praise from the Department of Illinois Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander Bobby Welch, the Coalition of Veterans Organizations Board of Directors, St. Charles Mayor Lora Vitek, and others.
