NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) — Congress has approved legislation to name a Rhode Island post office after a fallen soldier.

The state’s congressional delegation says the legislation to name the facility in the Slatersville section of North Smithfield after Spc. Matthew R. Turcotte, which previously passed the U.S. Senate in July, now goes to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

Turcotte, a lifelong resident of North Smithfield, was killed in August 2017 during a live ammunition training exercise at Fort Carson in Colorado. He was 20 years old.

A formal dedication ceremony at the post office will be scheduled for the spring.
