We are visiting Washington, DC for a family site seeing trip. The first place we went into was the Postal Service Museum. It was actually more interesting than you would think. One of the things that was strange was calling postal workers heroes for the work they do. I think that's a bit absurd. A postal worker isn't a soldier but is just doing a job. They referenced some of the work that postal workers did after 9/11 in NYC where they had to sort mail for a zip code that really didn't exist anymore. Now, that was probably a bit emotional but heroic? Come on! It sounds like people have been listening to Cliff Clavin from Cheers.
