On April 3, a post office in southeast Houston was officially renamed in honor of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén, a Houston native whose tragic death in 2020 led to significant military reforms. The Vanessa Guillen Post Office Dedication ceremony took place at 5302 Galveston Road, attended by representatives, community members, and the Guillen Family. Their advocacy, from Zacatecas to the White House, was pivotal in making this dedication possible. This event marks the first time a post office in Houston has been named after a Latina, commemorating Guillén's life, legacy, and the impact of her family's relentless fight for justice.

This morning, it was an honor to be with @VVAmerica and present Vietnam Veterans from Chili with commemorative lapel pins to honor their service. This recognition was long overdue, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to pay tribute to their courage and sacrifice. https://t.co/hdLeA7hJRH
