Post office renamed to honor fallen Lula native

The Lula Post Office has been renamed for a fallen soldier from Georgia. At a ceremony Thursday, the postal facility in Hall County now bears the name of Army Private First Class Johnathon Millican. The 20-year-old Lula native was killed in Iraq in January 2007. Georgia GOP Congressman Nathan Deal sponsored legislation to allow the name change. The Army also presented Millican's mother with a Silver Star award in recognition of his bravery.
