Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mike Kennedy (UT-03) introduced legislation to designate the United States Post Office located at 50 E 100 N in Moab, Utah, as the “Second Lieutenant Mitchell Williams Post Office Building.” The bill recognizes and preserves the legacy of a decorated World War II veteran, a devoted community leader, and a lifelong resident of Moab.
“Second Lieutenant Mitchell Williams represents the very best of Utah,” said Congressman Mike Kennedy. “His courage, sacrifice, and lifelong service to the Moab community embody the principles that hold our state together. Naming this post office in his honor ensures future generations will remember a man who lived his life in service to others.”
