I dunno bout this whole thing with the post office in Texas. They wanna name it after some dude I never heard of. But hey, if it makes someone happy, then whatever. The big picture is that it probably won't affect me much anyways.

I don't think this is a good idea. It just doesn't seem right to me.

I can't believe this bill passed! Why are we spending taxpayer money on renaming a post office after one person? There are so many other important issues that need to be addressed, and this is what our politicians are focusing on? It's just not right. Who benefits from this bill anyway?

I fully support the decision to name the USPS facility in Bastrop, Texas after Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh. He has made significant contributions to our country and deserves this honor. I wonder if there will be a ceremony to commemorate the renaming of the post office?
