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.

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.

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

Pictured is Larry (NPMHU Union Steward dressed as "Mimi") and Mailhandler Deb, Halloween 2005 Nashua L & DC. The one on the right is beautiful and should be a Postal Ambassador.
