(January 22, 2008)—The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday authored by Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, that would rename the Clay Avenue Post Office in Waco for Army Pfc. Juan Alonso Covarrubias, a decorated paratrooper who died in 1969 in South Vietnam.
Covarrubias was reared in Waco and was drafted in 1968 when he was 20.
He was killed on Mar. 24, 1969 and was buried on April 4, 1969 at Waco Memorial Park, leaving behind a then-infant daughter.
“Juan Alonso Covarrubias is an American hero who gave his life defending our country in Vietnam,” Edwards said Tuesday.
“We humbly recognize that we can never fully repay him or his family for their loss, but I hope and pray that honoring him in this way will celebrate his dedicated service and preserve his memory.”
