    Wnited States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 July 8, 2019 The Honorable Ron Johnson ‘The Honorable Gary C. Peters Chairman Ranking Member Senate Committee on Homeland Security Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and Government Affairs 340 Dirksen Senate Office Building 442 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Johnson and Ranking Member Peters: We write in support of H.R. 3305, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2509 George Mason Drive in Virginia Beach, Virginia, as the “Ryan Keith Cox Post Office Building”. (On May 31, 2019, the Commonwealth of Virginia suffered yet another mass shooting at Virginia Beach City’s Municipal Center. Twelve people were killed and four were injured in an act of violence that lasted nearly 36 minutes and tragically deprived the Virginia Beach community of beloved family members, dedicated public servants, and cherished friends. One person's sacrifice has emerged as a testament to the capacity of the human spirit to embody courage and selflessness in the face of unspeakable fear and confusion. Mr. Ryan Keith Cox was a public utilities account clerk who worked with Virginia Beach for 12 years. Described as “an angel of protection” by one colleague, Mr. Cox disregarded his own wellbeing to usher seven colleagues to safety in the midst of the shooting. Instead of barricading himself as well, Mr. Cox continued seeking others in need of assistance. He died heroically in the process and is remembered lovingly for his kindness, positivity, and beautiful singing voice. Naming the Princess Anne post office after Mr. Cox would be a fitting tribute to honor his memory and sacrifice. We are proud to offer our support for this bill, and appreciate your consideration of this legislation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Lauren Marshall at Lauren Marshall @warner senate, gov or Evan MeWalters at Evan_MeWalters@kaine.senate.gov. —) Mok. © ney Jee JZ Mark R.
