U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn said Friday that he hopes the new name of the Briargate Post Office will remind people of Chaplain Captain Dale Goetz s patriotism and courage, as well as the courage and service of all military chaplains. Chaplain Goetz was a man of unwavering faith and repeatedly answered the call of duty to serve his country, said Lamborn. His devotion to others and his love of country were an example to all.
The Colorado Springs Republican spoke at a ceremony to rename the post office at 8585 Criterion Drive for the Army captain who was killed in Afghanistan by an improvised explosive device on Aug. 30, 2010 â the first chaplain killed in action since the Vietnam War.
