Background:

H.R. 6220: To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 100 3rd Avenue Northwest in Perham, Minnesota, as the “Charles P. Nord Post Office”.

Born in Breckenridge, Minnesota on June 6, 1989, Charles Paul Nord grew up on his family’s farm where he liked spending his days working on the dairy farm with his father and grandfather. He also loved getting to ride on the tractor when it was time to plant or cut hay. Shortly after high school graduation, Charles felt he had to give back to his nation sooner rather than later. He joined the National Guard in order to work as a tank crew member. He advanced to become a Staff Sergeant.

Charles was accepted into the Warrant Officer training program in September 2015, paving the way for him to attend Fort Rucker, Alabama, helicopter flying school and consequently Charles was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 2. In May 2019, Charles moved back to Minnesota where he built his family’s new home near Perham, MN.

In 2019, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Charles P. Nord lost his life alongside fellow Guardsmen Chief Warrant Officer 2 James A. Rogers Jr. and W.O.C. Kort Plantenberg when their helicopter experienced a mid-flight mechanical failure near St. Cloud, MN.
