Inhofe, Lankford Move to Rename Owasso Post Office to Honor Fallen Oklahoma Hero TSgt. Roberts

Press Release

U.S. Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.) recently introduced legislation to rename an Owasso, Okla., post office the ""Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office Building." TSgt. Marshal Roberts, who was raised in Owasso, was one of two Americans killed in action in an overnight rocket attack in Iraq on March 11, 2020, during his service with the 219th Engineering Installation Squadron, a unit of the 138th Fighter Wing of the Oklahoma National Guard.

"Naming a post office to honor Technical Sergeant Roberts' heroic actions and dutiful patriotism in his hometown of Owasso will serve as a reminder to his family, friends, and service members of the ultimate sacrifice he gave on behalf of our grateful nation," said Inhofe and Lankford.

Inhofe, Lankford and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) offered their immediate condolences to TSgt. Roberts' family after he gave his last full measure of devotion.
