I'm not sure about this whole thing with the post office being named after Corporal Matthew A. Wyatt. It's sad that they're changing the name of the post office, I don't really understand why they're doing it. It might affect me personally because I use that post office all the time and now I'll have to get used to calling it something else. I hope this doesn't cause any confusion for people trying to find it. Overall, I'm not too happy about this change.
