"On April 12, 2017 I had the privilege of providing testimony in support of Representative Ed Thompson's HB 938 which was introduced to rename a portion of FM 518 in honor of fallen Pearland PD Officer Endy Ekpanya. On Monday September 11, 2017 I was honored to be present when the bill was signed into Law. The signing was part of the 2017 Star of Texas Award ceremony. The Star of Texas Award honors peace officers, firefighters, and emergency medical first responders seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. I would like to thank Representative Thompson for introducing the legislation, Senator Larry Taylor for co-sponsoring and all those who lent their support so that Endy's name would become a permanent part of the City of Pearland." ~ J. L. Spires, Chief of Police

I had no idea that the city did things like this. Thank you Ed Thompson for HB 938 and thanks to all the HEROS that we see and pass everyday in our city. The Bible tells us, "there is no greater love than that of one who lays down their life for a friend".
Whether injured or killed in duty they demonstrate that love.
God bless everyone of our city and military service men and women.

@PearlandDotCom I see where it starts at 35. Does it end at Liberty? So glad he is honored. That little bunch of flags remains me every time I pass. Hope they will continue to always be there.
