“Sergeant Ed Ramsey lived a life of public service – joining the Army to defend our nation, then going on to serve his community in his local post office for nearly three decades. During those years, his unstinting kindness made such an impression on his neighbors that they launched a grassroots effort to rename the Olney Post Office in his memory after his passing. I have been honored to stand with them and lead this charge in the Senate. Today’s Committee passage is an important step forward, and I will continue working to pass this legislation in the Senate to honor Ed’s legacy as a committed public servant and beloved member of the community,”
