President Biden has officially signed into law Representative Mike Garcia’s (CA-27) legislation to rename the Valencia Post Office at 24355 Creekside Road as the “William L. Reynolds Post Office Building”. This momentous recognition pays tribute to Bill Reynolds, a highly esteemed Vietnam war veteran and a beloved figure in the Santa Clarita community.

Representative Garcia expressed his admiration for Reynolds, stating, “Bill Reynolds was a decorated Vietnam war veteran, staunch advocate for veterans and military families, and dear friend. The impact of his relentless efforts to support our veterans are immeasurable and felt well beyond the borders of CA-27. It’s with profound respect that our post office is dedicated in his name, ensuring his legacy continues to influence and inspire all of us within the community he loved.”

Meg Reynolds also expressed her gratitude for this honor: “It’s such an honor to have Bill’s name be forever a part of Santa Clarita, the city he tirelessly dedicated so much of his time to ensure our veterans and fallen heroes are never forgotten. On behalf of the Reynolds family and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for this truly incredible honor.”

The unanimous bipartisan support for H.R. 292 demonstrates widespread respect and admiration for Bill Reynolds’ courage and lifelong dedication to the nation. In a time marked by stark political division, it was inspiring to witness both Democrats and Republicans unite in support of honoring a man who epitomized the pinnacle of American valor and empathy. Notably, not a single member of Congress voted against bestowing this honor on Mr. Reynolds.

Renaming the Valencia Post Office as the “William L. Reynolds Post Office Building” is more than symbolic – it’s a fitting tribute to his selflessness and dedication. As we celebrate this dedication, we’re reminded to uphold the spirit of service that Mr. Reynolds exemplified.
