After some legislative fits and starts, lawmakers are again in the process of honoring the memory of Army Capt. Humayun Khan by naming a post office for him in Charlottesville, Virginia. The new version, sent along by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday, changes the location to an official post office near the original. Khan, a Muslim American soldier killed at age 27 in Baqubah, Iraq, in 2004, was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, he was the only University of Virginia graduate to be killed in action during the Iraq War.
