Amarillo, TX, Letter Carrier Franklin Roberts

Letter Carrier Franklin Roberts was recently delivering mail in Amarillo, TX, when he encountered a customer in trouble.

The man was pale and barely conscious after a fall, so Roberts immediately called 911 and rendered first aid until emergency responders arrived.

The next day, a neighbor gave Roberts an update: The man, a diabetic, was suffering from blood poisoning.

The neighbor thanked the Postal Service employee for saving the man’s life.
