Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) released the following statement after co-sponsoring and supporting a bill that would name a Marietta Post Office after Marine Lance Corporal Skip Wells:

“On July 16 last year, Lance Corporal Skip Wells – a valiant American hero, gave his life when a radicalized gunman attacked his duty station in Chattanooga, TN. When the terrorist attack began, Corporal Wells did not back down to fear. Instead, he bravely faced the attacker with courage, putting himself in harm’s way to protect fellow marines and sailors. Skip’s life brought credit upon himself, his family and the United States Marine Corps. Skip will be remembered as a true American hero. Naming a Marietta Post Office in his honor will ensure his service, sacrifice and legacy will never be forgotten.”
