Last week, Link covered a special dedication ceremony for the new Thank You, Healthcare Community stamp.
The stamp honors those workers who dedicate their lives to our health, safety and well-being — often at great personal risk.
“The Thank You Healthcare Community stamp is special — it recognizes the tremendous work by all health workers across the country. And it comes with our memory of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the critical role that health workers played, still fresh in our minds,” said Xavier Becerra, U.S. health and human services secretary, who spoke at the event.
Link also reported on the release of the Winter Whimsy stamps, as well as the Postal Service’s recommended shipping and mailing deadlines for the holiday season.
Other stories focused on Columbus Day, the Hatch Act, the Combined Federal Campaign, and a request USPS has made to the Postal Regulatory Commission for an advisory opinion.
Additionally, we introduced you to USPS employees who enjoy Dungeons & Dragons, the role-playing game that was recently honored with new stamps; Jeremy King, a White Plains, NY, letter carrier who aided a co-worker who was attacked by a dog; and Solomon, MD, Postmaster Theresa Smith, who turned to Denzel James, a Philadelphia mail handler, to find a customer’s missing package.
She thanked James for his help, praising him for “doing what you do and for representing the brand.”
