Postal Service Goes Green

Memorial Day 2006

Instead of a question and answer, it is appropriate this Memorial Day to salute all those who have given their lives in defense of this nation. Without their sacrifices we would not be free to ask questions, to challenge our political leaders and to take an active role in our system of government. To them we owe an unrepayable debt. I am asking all my fellow Postal Employees to honor the fallen men and women who served and lost their lives so that we can live ours. Enjoy your holiday and be safe.

Eagle Express

Does the Postal Service still use these jets? I think our scores were better before we contracted out to that other company.

Another Fire Photo

I used to be an ambulance chaser as a kid so I am fascinated by these photos of one of our Postal vehicles. Thank you Apple Valley Fire Department.

Happy Postal People

Another Happy Mailhandler

I think this Postal guy is happy because he just completed overtime and now can afford a haircut.

British Postal Store

Would you be able to tell the difference between a U.S. Post Office and a British one? Wonder if they have delivery confirmation?

Beware of Dog

Today begins National Dog Bite Prevention week. May 21- May 27, 2006. Until I was detailed as Carrier Supervisor and actually went out on the streets I never realized how many dogs threaten the safety of our fellow Postal Employees. Click here to learn more about dog bite prevention and do your part by passing that information on to your neighbors and friends.

Where theres smoke there is fire.

I'm sure we will see this on EBAY under Postal Vehicles for sale.

Bad Things Happen To Good People Too.

Photo courtesy of the Apple Valley Fire Department in California. No one was injured in this incident. The continuous bravery of all emergency personnel for their daily efforts are always appreciated by Postal Employees.

Good things do happen for good people.

Margaret L. Sellers

Seller's 35-year postal career earned a facility to be named after her. The Postal Service salutes her efforts where some employees have scandalous views.

Boxing for Revenue

Another way I donate to the Post Office revenue. Everytime I open this box a howling wind blows through, followed by a few leaves and some dust.

A Happy Postal Employee

This proud San Diegan is happy that his production rate is so high.

Postal Mothers

This Mail Handler should have been in the wrestling world but we are certainly happy to have him aboard as a Postal Employee. Big Bob Local 301 in Hartford, CT.
