The Delivery Heroes: Give a massive wave to your mail carrier for National Postal Worker Day! Rain, shine, sleet, or blistering July heat, our postal workers walk miles every day to ensure our packages, letters, and medications arrive safely at our doors. If you see your carrier today, a simple “thank you” (or a cold bottle of water) goes a long way!
Celebrate the art of the letter with National U.S. Postage Stamp Day. This day honors the introduction of the first adhesive postage stamps in America back in 1847. It’s a beautiful nod to the tiny, beautifully illustrated pieces of history that have carried our stories across the nation for generations
