For it's a clear example of the efficiency and excellent customer service, that throughout the years have distinguished our postal service and its dedicated employees. Even though they have had to confront competition along the way, it has only served to make it even better. For competition is the American way, where everyone benefits from it along the way. On the year 2025, the United States Postal Service (USPS) celebrated its 250th anniversary. This postal system was officially established by the Second Continental Congress on July 26, 1775, with Benjamin Franklin appointed as its first Postmaster General. It was founded to bind the nation together and facilitate secure and accessible communication among all communities. Its original intent was to ensure the inexpensive distribution of printed material to educate a democratic electorate. After the arrival of the computer, the internet, and the email, and with all the competition of private companies such as UPS and FedEx, the USPS went through some hardships. But they have remained in the hearts of every single person in our communities. We admire and look forward to the daily arrival of our mailcarier. To going to the Post Office to mail a letter or pick up a package. We enjoy buying and collecting stamps. We appreciate and respect the service that the U.S. Postal Service employees do for us. I invite you to visit their 250 Anniversary website USPS.com/250 and read the two books that they put out last year to celebrate the occasion: "Delivering for America: How the United States Postal Service Built a Nation," and the special 250th anniversary edition of "The United States Postal Service: An American History." And also, I invite you to watch my favorite movie that I watch every year around this Holiday Season: "Miracle on 34th Street." Today, I visited this post office to purchase some Forever stamps. I enjoy walking into their building and always finding it clean and filled with posters and flyers containing useful information. I enjoy taking a peak at their small little museum as you enter the building. As a contrast to this they have right in front of it, a Self-Service station with the latest electronic computer. Then there is a long, wide hallway filled with P.O. Boxes on the left, and the post office counter on the right after entering through another glass doors. They even have a branch of the Blue Eagle Credit Union inside the same building, for the convenience of their customers. In this U.S. Post Office you can not only buy stamps, send letters, mail and pick-up packages, but even purchase shipping supplies and greeting cards, among other things. The line always moves fast due to the very efficient postal clerks, who even though they move fast, give you their total attention and take their time to make you feel at home and not rushed, explaining what needs to be explained about the system to provide you with useful information. When my turn arrived, a walked over to the counter and received a warm and friendly greeting from the postal clerk. When I inquired about the latest editions of their commemorate Forever Stamps, he pulled out a box with all of them. I had time to look over them and picked a book of the one I like the most, and then proceeded to pay with my credit card. I was in and out in no time at all, after receiving not only my stamps and receipt, but a heartfelt Thank you. I walked out of this Post Office feeling proud that I was an American citizen and that I lived in this great country of ours.

No package, it is 8.5lb, 40 inches long. Tomorrow I will bet there is a note in the mail box and they will claim it is undeliverable, I will be waiting at the mail box, this lazy contractor won't even bother to bring the package. As a result I will have to do a 12 mile round trip, take about 1.5 hours out of my day. Why am I even paying for delivery when I have to go pick it up myself. They deliver an average of 5 pieces of junk mail a day. The post office concerned is the main office near cave springs. They all need to be​ fired, no pension, nothing...useless. and when you call you get told the wait time to talk to a live human is an hour. Very convenient that this happened at 4pm.
