H.R. 10065: Designating the Corpus Christi USPS Facility as the Captain Robert E. Bob Batterson Post Office
House of Representatives Passes Legislation to Honor Fallen Soldier
Washington, D.C. – On December 21, 2024, the House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 10065, a bill that designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 802 North Tancahua Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, as the Captain Robert E. Bob Batterson Post Office.
The bill, sponsored by Congressman Michael Cloud (R-TX), honors the late Captain Robert E. Batterson, a decorated Marine Corps officer who was killed in action during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005.
Captain Robert E. Bob Batterson
Captain Batterson was a native of Corpus Christi and a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. He served as a Marine Corps pilot for over seven years, flying combat missions in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
On March 1, 2005, Captain Batterson’s F/A-18 Hornet was shot down over Iraq. He and his co-pilot, Captain Patrick Maloney, were both killed in the crash.
Designation of the Post Office
The designation of the Corpus Christi USPS facility as the Captain Robert E. Bob Batterson Post Office is a fitting tribute to a fallen hero. The facility serves the community where Captain Batterson grew up and is a reminder of his sacrifice for his country.
The legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration. It is expected to be approved by the full chamber and signed into law by President Biden.
Statement from Congressman Cloud
Congressman Cloud expressed his support for the bill, saying:
“Captain Robert E. Batterson was a true American hero who gave his life in service to our nation. Designating the Corpus Christi Post Office in his honor is a small but meaningful way to recognize his sacrifice and inspire future generations.”
