Rep. Calvert Bill Honoring Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui Signed into Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Ken Calvert announced that his legislation to name the Norco Post Office in honor of Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui (H.R. 5809) was signed into law by the President.

Lance Corporal Nikoui, a Norco resident, was killed during the August 26, 2021, Kabul terror attack while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. The bill will officially designate the U.S. Post Office located at 1801 Town and Country Drive as the Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui Memorial Post Office.

The bill was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 12, 2022, and subsequently passed by the U.S. Senate on September 20, 2022.

“Our community is incredibly proud to honor Lance Corporal Nikoui, who in his short time with us displayed remarkable bravery and selflessness,” said Rep. Calvert. “With my legislation now signed into law, we know Norco’s Post Office will always pay homage to one of the city’s true heroes. Any time I think about Lance Corporal Nikoui I am mindful of his family, friends, and anyone fortunate enough to know him. His bright soul illuminated so greatly that it continues to shine upon us after his passing. I pray that these modest steps of recognition, in some way, give them comfort in knowing that we will never forget his sacrifice and courage.”
