President Trump this week signed a bill authorizing a California post office to be named after Ray Chavez, the oldest military veteran survivor of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The bill, which was among 19 signed by Trump on Monday, designates the main post office in Poway, a San Diego suburb where Chavez lived, the Ray Chavez Post Office Building.
Chavez, who died in 2018 at the age of 106 following a battle with pneumonia, joined the Navy in 1938 and was aboard a minesweeper, the USS Condor, when it reported sightings of a Japanese submarine before the pivotal Dec. 7, 1941, attack, according to NBC News.
