From ABC News
The House and Senate have both cleared a measure to name a post office in Virginia after U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq in 2004. But it remains an open question whether President Donald Trump will sign the bill into law.
...
The post office is located at 180 McCormick Road in Charlottesville, Virginia. The bill, introduced by Rep. Tom Garrett, cleared the House unanimously on Nov. 29.
COMMENT:-
How could anyone possibly think that Mr. Trump would be so vindictively petty as to refuse to sign a bill that honours "Khan, a graduate of the University of Virginia, was killed on June 8, 2004 during Operation Iraqi Freedom when a taxicab packed with an improvised explosive device exploded outside of his base in Baqubah, Iraq. Khan ran towards danger, ordering others to take cover and died when the bomb exploded. He was credited with saving the lives of more than 100 U.S. soldiers and was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star."?
Will Trump sign bill to name post office for son of Gold Star father Khizr Khan?
