I am pleased to support H.R. 5356, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 14231 TX-150 in Coldspring, Texas, as the E. Marie Youngblood Post Office. Eddie ``Marie'' Youngblood served as a rural letter carrier and worked tirelessly to deliver mail to southeast Texans who would have otherwise had to travel many miles. She was well known and loved on her route for her friendly nature and willingness to go out of her way to serve others. Tragically, Marie was shot and killed while on her mail route on May 17, 2013, leaving behind a husband, two sons, and two grandchildren. Mr. Speaker, we should pass this bill to remember Eddie ``Marie'' Youngblood and celebrate the lives she touched through her loving actions and committed service to the community and to the United States Postal Service. I urge the passage of H.R. 5356. I yield back the balance of my time.
