Congressman Meuser’s Bill to Rename Post Office in Lebanon Honoring Fallen Police Officer Passes in the House

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, legislation introduced by Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09), H.R. 3865, passed unanimously in the House of Representatives. The bill would rename the post office at 101 South 8th Street in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, as the "Lieutenant William D. Lebo Post Office Building.”

The legislation was co-sponsored by Pennsylvania’s entire House delegation. 

Lt. William D. Lebo of the Lebanon City Police Department tragically lost his life in the line of duty on March 31, 2022, while responding to a domestic-related burglary incident. Lt. Lebo was a 40-year veteran of the Lebanon Police Department and was just 30 days from retirement at the time of his passing.

Meuser said, “It was a pleasure to welcome the Lebo family to Washington today as the House passed my legislation to rename the post office in Lebanon in Lt. William Lebo’s honor. For forty years, Lt. Lebo dedicated his life to protecting and serving the Lebanon community. He was a loving father, husband, and son, who gave his life in service to others. He will be remembered as the model of what law enforcement officers should be, and our community continues to mourn his passing. It is my hope that renaming the post office in the city he loved will serve as a lasting recognition of his remarkable life and legacy, during which he always put service above self. I thank my colleagues for unanimously supporting this legislation as we strive to honor a dedicated public servant who meant such a great deal to the Lebanon community.”

The legislation now moves to the United States Senate for consideration before being signed into law by the President.
