(Washington, DC) – This week, Congressman Steve Rothman (NJ-9) introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 5133) to rename the post office in Carlstadt, NJ to honor the memory of Army Staff Sergeant Frank T. Carvill and Marine Lance Corporal Michael A. Schwarz, both of whom were residents of Carlstadt and died in the Iraq war. The entire New Jersey Congressional delegation joined Congressman Rothman as cosponsors of H.R. 5133.
“Staff Sergeant Frank T. Carvill and Lance Corporal Michael A. Schwarz paid the ultimate price for the people of the United States and Iraq. This post office will stand as a testament to their bravery and sacrifice,” said Congressman Rothman. “I am humbled to have the opportunity to play a role in honoring these heroes in this way.”
On June 4, 2004, Staff Sergeant Frank T. Carvill was killed when his Humvee was ambushed in Baghdad’s Sadr City district. Lance Corporal Michael A. Schwarz was killed by a sniper in Al Anbar province on November 27, 2006.
