Scott Garrett Reintroduces Bill to Rename Waldwick Post Office in Marine’s Honor

Scott Garrett Reintroduces Bill to Rename Waldwick Post Office in Marine’s Honor
Apr 12, 2013

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05) reintroduced legislation (H.R. 1458) today to honor fallen Marine and Waldwick native Joseph D’Augustine by renaming the United States Post Office building located at 1 Walter Hammond Place in Waldwick, NJ the “Staff Sergeant Joseph D’Augustine Post Office Building.”

“Words cannot describe the gratitude our community and our country has for Joseph’s selfless commitment to protect his fellow Marines and the freedoms of the United States of America; he is a true hero,” said Garrett after reintroducing the legislation in the House.  “On behalf of New Jersey’s 5th District and the Waldwick community, I believe that the Waldwick post office should be renamed to honor this young man and remember his final sacrifice forever.  May we never forget Staff Sergeant D’Augustine’s bravery in the line of duty and the family and friends he left behind.”

Staff Sergeant Joseph D’Augustine was killed in action in the Helmand province of Afghanistan on March 27, 2012.  D’Augustine, a 2001 Waldwick High School graduate, was assigned to the 8th Engineer Support Battalion of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group out of Camp Lejune and was a specialist trained to dismantle bombs and land mines.  D’Augustine was on his fourth tour of duty overseas and his second in Afghanistan.

Garrett has received support from the entire New Jersey delegation in the House of Representatives, and all are cosponsoring the bill.
