I'm not entirely sure about this whole thing with naming the post office after Millie Dunn Veasey. I mean, who even is she? And why does she deserve to have a post office named after her? It just seems a bit random to me. Plus, how is this going to impact me and my mail service? Will it make things more efficient or just cause confusion? I'm not convinced that this is the best use of time and resources. What do you all think about it?

I don't think this is a good idea to name the post office after Millie Dunn Veasey. I believe there are more deserving individuals who could be honored in this way. It's important to consider the impact of these decisions on the community as a whole.
