Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia spoke in support of her bill, H.R. 224, which would honor Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén by naming a post office after her.

Two years ago, Guillen was killed by another soldier at Fort Hood near Killeen, Texas.

Guillen's family has long maintained she suffered sexual harassment at the base before being killed.

Her family said she didn't report the sexual harassment, fearful her chain of command would retaliate against her.
