    Who’s your hero?

    Program seeks nominees

    USPS is seeking nominees for the Postmaster General Heroes’ Program, which honors employees who go above and beyond the call of duty.

    The program is based on a simple idea: Postal Service employees know the habits of their customers and the rhythms of their communities, and are often the first to notify emergency personnel when something is wrong.

    This year, employees have been honored for rescuing lost children, aiding co-workers experiencing medical emergencies and helping people who threatened to harm themselves.

    Employees must be nominated for the award. Corporate Communications reviews nominations for accuracy, then sends them to the Inspection Service and the Office of Inspector General for approval.

    Following approval, each nominee receives a commendation letter from Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan.

    Honorees are also featured in Link’s “Heroes’ Corner” column. Additionally, a heroes’ wall at USPS headquarters in Washington, DC, displays stories and photos, which are updated monthly.

    To nominate an employee, complete PS Form 400, Corporate Communications PMG Hero Nomination, and email it to PMG_HeroNominations@usps.gov.

    To download or print the form, go to usps.link/heroes, where you’ll also find the “Heroes’ Corner” archives.

    I truly loved reading “Reliable voice,” the “On the Job” story about 92-year-old USPS telephone operator Harris London. She is inspiring. Thanks for all you do, Harris.
