The Hank Aaron stamp dedication ceremony was held July 31 at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Link’s coverage of the Hank Aaron stamp dedication ceremony was a highlight of last week.

The stamp honors the baseball legend who became famous for shattering records and breaking down racial barriers.

“We hope this stamp serves as a reminder of Hank Aaron’s success on the baseball diamond and his work to champion equality,” said Thomas Marshall, the USPS general counsel who spoke at the ceremony.

We also covered the release of the Dungeons & Dragons stamps, along with a special dedication ceremony for the Low Denomination Flowers stamps.

Additionally, Link went “Off the Clock” with Mike Maple, a Marquette, MI, letter carrier who is in a punk rock band called Liquid Mike, and “On the Job” with Susan Wozniak, the USPS Employee Assistance Program administrator.

“A big part of the job is making sure employees have access to mental health services that allow them to perform their jobs,” Wozniak said. “The Postal Service is so large. We’ve responded to earthquakes, fires — basically anything can happen in our organization. And our people need support.”
