Background:

The Postmaster General Hero Award is given to those who perform a heroic act above and beyond the call of duty while on the job.  John Lavin was delivering on his route when he noticed that a customer who regularly picks up her mail from her porch location had not picked up for a few days.  Lavin reached out to a known neighbor and asked if they had seen her. Customer had fallen and was unable to get up. This customer was transported to the emergency and receive much needed medical attention as a result of Lavin’s attention to detail and concern for the customers he serves. Appreciative neighbors sent a letter to San Anselmo Postmaster to thank and commend Lavin’s quick action that most likely saved their neighbor’s life.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
