President Donald Trump signed a bill Friday to name a Virginia post office after Humayun Khan, the Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq whose parents he attacked during the 2016 campaign.

The measure was sponsored by Republican Representative Tom Garrett of Virginia and passed Congress unanimously. The U.S. Postal Service office that will bear the former Army captain’s name is in Charlottesville, where he attended the University of Virginia. Khan died at 27 in 2004 and was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
