Each and every day our men and women in blue risk their lives to keep us our families and our communities safe" Rep. Pete Olson said. Endy selflessly served our Pearland community. While we can never truly repay him naming this Post Office after him is a small gesture to thank him for his dedication. Im proud that my colleagues in Congress joined me to pass this law to name this Post Office after Officer Ekpanya so that when Pearland residents visit this Post Office they will see his name and be reminded of his courage service and sacrifice."

Olsons bill H.R. 294 renames the US Post Office located at 2700 Cullen Boulevard in Pearland Texas as the Endy Nddiobong Ekpanya Post Office Building." Every member of the Texas congressional delegation was a cosponsor of the bill which was signed into law by President Trump on March 16 2018.
