Washington, DC – Today, the House passed H.R. 6630, a bill led by U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-40) to name a Placentia, CA post office after U.S. Army Private First Class Jang Ho Kim, a Valencia High School graduate who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq.
“While PFC Jang Ho Kim left us too soon, his legacy of courage and service lives on through his loved ones, others he inspired to serve and all those who share his story,” said Rep. Kim. “We can enjoy our American freedoms because of the sacrifice of those who have served. I’m grateful to the entire California delegation for backing this bill and thrilled we are one step closer to preserving PFC Kim’s honorable story in Placentia for years to come.”
“Jang Ho was a dedicated Army servicemember, promising young man, and proud American. We love and miss him dearly and are very grateful to the Congresswoman for working hard to honor his memory,” said the Kim Family.
H.R. 6630 would designate the post office located at 1400 N Kraemer Blvd. Placentia, CA 92871 after PFC Jang Ho Kim.
