BROOKHAVEN, Miss. (WLBT) - A Brookhaven post office will be named in honor of three local law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
President Donald Trump signed a law on Dec. 21 to rename the facility as the “Deputy Donald William Durr, Corporal Zach Moak and Patrolman James White Memorial Post Office Building,” according to the Associated Press. The post office is located at 201 West Cherokee Street.
The bill was originally introduced in April 2019 by U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith and Congressman Michael Guest and cosponsored by Senator Roger Wicker.
