My USPS here is fantastic!
I'm on a first name basis with my carrier.
We've chatted about car and motorcycle stuff.
He gets a $50 at Christmas time with a nice Thank You card.
Last week I left for him this pin from my late stepfather, who was an area Postmaster for 12 years........along with a copy of my late step-father's obituary, which highlighted his many civic, business, and military achievements.....so the pin would perhaps carry more meaning for him.

That's a neat pin. My father delivered mail for a time, before he got a job as a mechanic. My grandfather also delivered mail. My grandfather's brother had a rural route, started when he was 17, delivered mail for over 50 years. His son also was a rural letter carrier for many years. Somewhere in the basement I have letter carrier ID cards or something like that from my father and grandfather. It's been years since I looked at them. Maybe they were union cards.
My father's second cousin was postmaster in La Crosse for 12 or 13 years.
