Postal heroes

Thousands of postal employees process, transport and deliver the mail on a daily basis — while providing a vital link and serving as a driver of the American economy.

But Postal employees also are known for their service and benevolence in local communities across the nation.

As the eyes and ears in neighborhoods when there’s nobody else around, they perform selfless and heroic acts — often at risk to their own safety. For many, humility and anonymity are their best characteristics — never looking for recognition, just responding to a call for help from a customer or co-worker.

People Magazine did a story on postal heroes last year. Read it here.
