2016 Letter Carrier Heroes of the Year
Letter carriers who saved a girl from a vicious dog attack, stopped and assault and robbery, rescued patrons from house fires, formed special bonds with their customers and used their personal story to help educate others about mental illness and addiction are the 2016 Letter Carrier Heroes of the Year.
Individual letter carriers from California, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Michigan and Massachusetts—as well as a group of letter carriers from New York—represent a tiny fraction of the thousands of letter carriers who not only deliver mail and packages to 154 million residents six—and increasingly seven—days a week, but also often assist in situations involving car crashes, household accidents, building fires, crimes or health crises.
NALC will honor this year’s heroes at a special luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at noon at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
