November 14, 2024
On November 14, 2024, a new bill, S. 2143 (ENR), was introduced to the United States Senate. The bill proposes to designate the United States Postal Service (USPS) facility located at 320 South 2nd Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as the Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing Post Office Building.
The bill is named in honor of Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing, a United States Army soldier who was killed in action in Iraq on March 18, 2008. Rolfing was a native of Sioux Falls and a graduate of Harrisburg High School. He served in the Army for six years and was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment.
In a statement, Senator John Thune (R-SD) said, “Robb Rolfing was a dedicated soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Designating this post office in his honor is a fitting tribute to his life and legacy.”
Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) added, “Staff Sergeant Robb Rolfing is a hero who gave his life for our freedoms. This legislation will ensure that his memory and service are honored for generations to come.”
The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. If passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, and signed into law by the President, the USPS facility at 320 South 2nd Avenue in Sioux Falls would be officially renamed the Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing Post Office Building.
Additional Information:
- Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart, and the Army Commendation Medal for his actions in Iraq.
