This Veterans Day marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, the milestone that established Nov. 11 as the day set aside to honor those who have served in the American armed forces.
The holiday is especially significant to the Postal Service, one of the nation’s largest employers of veterans. The organization has more than 100,000 current or former service members in its workforce.
Veterans Day honors those who have served in the American armed forces.
This year, USPS is honoring employees who are veterans with special badges and lanyards.
The Postal Service also honors veterans and military members through its stamp program. In special recognition of the end of the Great War, USPS recently issued the World War I: Turning the Tide stamp, which pays tribute to the United States’ role in ending the global conflict.
Haha……they honored 2 out the 4 Vets in our office by forcing them in on their day off Veterans Day weekend.
Badges! We don’t need no stinkin badges! And, we didn’t get any, or lanyards.
Give the veterans a few trinkets, then the next day run the same employees as you would a trained circus animal. Give the carriers five hours work on the road, and expect them back in three hours. Have the carrier veteran call up to say they are running behind, while management won’t answer the phone! Forget to scan a parcel, the employee just won a trip to the office. If, on your day off, you don’t scan a parcel, you too have won a trip to the office! I remember at my post Office a carrier had just been discharged from the Marines. After four months as a carrier he had enough. He re enlisted in the Marines.
Whatever happened to the challenge coins??
Meaning we will see them next veterans day
More PO crap. Acknowledge their participation, but give them a 1% raise, eliminate their jobs, treat them like garbage.
My former boss recognized all veterans every year at our facility long before the higher ups found out and started doing it at most other facilities/offices.
