enti california delegation, and the house oversight committee. there are those who scoff at post office naming bills like us but such smug critics're don't appreciate or don't understand the sacrifices that these bills recognize and the heroism behind the events them. let me tell you about the young man this bill honors today. mike anderson was a kid who grew up in modesto a farm california's central valley. it's always maintained the values and traditions of middle america. mike reflected that never way. he loud skateboarding snow boarding and motorcycles. he loved tinkering with cars and going camping. but most importantly he loved his family, his friends and above all his country. as he from johansson high school, he could look forward to a long and happy lifetime ahead of him. but in september of that year, america was attacked and without

hesitation he stepped forward to defend his clint and all it stands for this. simple freedoms and uniquely american values that produce model towns like modes and model citizens like mike anderson. he enlisted in the united states marine corps where he quickly distinguished himself. he became a member of the fleet anti-terrorism security t elite marine corps team designed to fight terror around the world. in that capacity he received a letter of commendation from the u.s. ambassador james foley for defending the u.s. embassy in riots directed at it. in september 2004, corporal anderson deploy tide rack to participate in operation iraqi freedom where he was assigned to the third battali marine regiment, first division of the marine expeditionary force. he raised money to help ensure he had the best equipment available, including three different sets of protective

goggles. but 11 before christmas december 14, 2004, he was leading marines and iraqi soldiers in urban clearing operations of insurgent-occupied buildings in fallujah, he was the first into a stronghold where he was killed in action. he was 21 years old. corporal anderson had been scheduled to leave iraq jus a few months later and return to hisly where they'd already planned a joyous family reunion and vacation. he showed tremendous bravery and incredible courage throughout his service day his last day in reflected in his military decorations, including two purple hearts, thed me medal with the attached for valor and his combat ribbons. what stands out most is his self-sacrifice and fortune --

and concern for marines in his squad. his father remembers, he was more concerned about telling me about one of the guys in his unit first before telling me about himself. he felt as squad lead her had to take care of miz his men first. james mitch for the's haunting question stands out in such exploits. where do we get such men? we get them from towns like modesto and from families like the anderson, decent young men and women with promising futures who are willing to leave the safety and comfort of hearth and home when their country needs them and are willing to step into harm's way to protect their families their neighbor they countrymen and above all the cause of freedom. a more important question is, what would we do without them? a few feet from here in the capitol rotunda fresco called "the apotheosis of washington." it shows president washington flanked by victory and freedom

surrounded by the essence and fruits of a free nation. in that depiction washington beckons. from little towns like modesto california decent young men and women with happy lives and promising futures like mike anderson jr. have answered his call. and i don't know how their families can bear it but i do know what we owe them and i do know we can debt except to honor their memory and keep their sacrifice always in mind. that's what bills like this are all about. to honor and remember those among us who gave up everything to proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof. mr. speaker -- madam speaker the people of modesto california and the family of corporal anderson, his parent, angie and michael sr., as well as his two little sisters callie and allie and a grateful nation ask that the post office of his hometown be named to

gentleman. this bill would designate the post office facility at 135 west spring street in titusville, pennsylvania, as the edwin l. district post office building. edwin drake was the first person to successfully drill for oil in the united states. he was sent to pennsylvania where to the where oil had been having ground level seepages. they thought there must be a way to get more volum the answer was to send drake. they sent letters to local businessmen and referred to drake as colonel drake in. july of 185 he journeyed to titusville to begin but struggled for nearly a year until he invented the drive pipe. he continued his attempts with many setbacks. and refusal from the oil company to provide any more investment. despite many of these failed money, he persisted in his effort leaving some of the

locals and executives to begin calling him crazy drake. but finally on august 27, 1859, he found success in extracting oil which was 70 feet beneath the earth's surface. it has never been done b. well began to produce between 20 and 40 barrels a day. using all the whiskey barrels in titusville to put the oil. in this immediately launched pennsylvania's oil rush, sparking a massive economic boom in western pennsylvania. drake's discovery changed the economies beyond western pennsylvania and across the world. titusville quickly became a boomtown and oil wells popped up all over the place. it is reported that these wells made up tohe first year. by 1866, the population of titusville had risen to over 10,000 residents compared to just 250 people when drake first

arived. by 1873, pennsylvania was produce10g million barrels of oil per year. an incredible amount that nobody could have possiy imagined. drake would dig two other wells in the months following his invention. he left the industry the next year due to declining health and became a justice of the peace in 1860. unfortunately he never patented his invention and lost most of his savings in the stock market in the following years. pennsylvania would never be the same as people rushed to the commonwealth much like the gold rush in california. drake passed away in bethlehem pennsylvania on november 9 1880 at just 61 years old. heas moved to titusville where he remains today. the original tools are on display in titusville at the drake well museum on the same site of his initial discovery. oil continues to be a massive industry in pennsylvania and across our clint. by naming a post office after

him in titusville, this would be a small step in recognizes the man who made it all possible. i urge my colleagues to support this bill, to recognize edwin drake's contributions to the country by naming the post office facility in titusville after him. drake died broke. he had nothing. but he created an industry in america, in pennsylvania, that has continued to flourish. i would encourage my colleagues to support renaming the post office and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. raskin: i yield myself such time as i may consume. ed was born in new york and lived for a short period innew haven when he moved tonh
