Washington -- President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill to name the Baldwinsville post office after Marine Cpl. Kyle Schneider, a Lysander resident who was killed in Afghanistan last year.
Obama signed House Resolution 5837 to designate the post office at 26 E. Genesee St. in Baldwinsville as the "Corporal Kyle Schneider Post Office Building," the White House said Friday night.
The bill passed the House of Representatives in July, where it was introduced by Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-Onondaga Hill.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., sponsored the bill in the Senate, which passed the measure Dec. 19.
Schneider, 23, was killed June 30, 2011 by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan?s Helmand Province.
Schneider was a 2006 graduate of C.W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville. He attended Onondaga Community College for one year in the criminal justice program before joining the Marine Corps in March 2008.
His parents, Lorie and Rick Schneider of Lysander, have set up the Cpl. Kyle R. Schneider Foundation to help the people and causes that their son found important.
