July 1 is National Postal Workers Day, a day to recognize and celebrate the hard work of postal workers everywhere. This holiday has been around since 1987 when it was first established by Congress in honor of all those who have dedicated their lives to ensuring that mail gets from one place to another safely and on time. From rural areas with limited access, to bustling cities filled with packages, these workers make sure that our mail reaches its destination!
