The P O

In 1775, three months after the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the Continental Congress turned to Benjamin Franklin to establish the first national postal service with Franklin as Postmaster General. Since then, the USPS has delivered millions of letters and packages. And although the tech revolution and the advent of cell phones and email have impacted our reliance on snail mail and on the P O, postal workers and mail carriers still carry on through the proverbial  “rain,  sleet,  and snow.” What postal adventures or misadventures have you had? Have you ever worked at the post office? Think back about The P O and share forward!
