Washington, D.C. - President Biden has signed into law legislation that renames the Roseau, MN Post Office in honor of Floyd B. Olson, who served as the community's Postmaster for 25 years. Mr. Olson served in the Army from 1952 to 1954 and was an active member of the Roseau County Historical Society Board, Roseau County Fair Board, Rose Free Lutheran Church Board & Men’s Club, and the Postmaster’s Association. Mr. Olson passed away in 2017, after decades of service to his community and country. Congresswoman Fischbach (MN-07) introduced this bill in the House with the support of the entire Minnesota delegation.
"Floyd Olson was a staple in the Roseau community," said Rep. Fischbach (MN-07). "He was a man of faith, a family man, and a true public servant. I can think of no better person to dedicate this Post Office to and I am so glad the President has signed this bill into law."
“Floyd B. Olson was the Roseau Postmaster for over two decades, a veteran, and a beloved member of the community,” said Senator Klobuchar. “With this legislation now signed into law, the Roseau Post Office will be named in his honor, ensuring Mr. Olson’s memory continues to live on.”
“Floyd B. Olson dedicated his life to serving his country and giving back to his neighbors in Roseau – as an Army veteran and as Postmaster for 25 years,” said Senator Smith. “Renaming the Roseau Post Office after him honors his contributions to the community and lasting legacy in the city of Roseau.”
