<p>CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A hometown hero is being honored.</p>

<p>A measure has been signed renaming the U.S.  post office on Tancahua Street after Captain Robert &#8216;Bob&#8217; Batterson.</p>

<p>Congressman Michael Cloud told 3NEWS it will be known as the ‘Bob Batterson Post Office.’</p>

<p>Batterson was a familiar face in the Coastal Bend and a long-time USS Lexington volunteer.</p>

<p>He was also among the last known local survivors of the Pear Harbor attack before he passed away in August of 2023 at 102-years old.</p>

<p>Congressman Cloud said the move was a long time coming. President Biden signed off on the renaming earlier this week.</p>
