BASTROP — A post office on Main Street now bears the name of one of Bastrop’s most decorated sons.
U.S. Rep. Michael Mc-Caul, whose district includes Bastrop County, hosted a dedication ceremony June 17 to officially name the post office at 1106 Main St. the Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh Post Office, honoring the late Army veteran, CIA officer and Bastrop native. Waugh served in nearly every branch of U.S. special operations over a five-decade career. “A member of the Greatest Generation, Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh was a true American hero who dedicated himself to a life of courage, patriotism and self-sacrifice,” McCaul said at the event. “I am proud to officially dedicate the Bastrop Post Office in his honor so all Texans can remember his incredible life of service.”
McCaul introduced the legislation and defended the bill on the House floor in December. It was signed into law later that month.
