Palermo, N.J.: What does “essential services” mean to you? Police officers, firefighters, medical professionals? What about your post office? Behind every carrier are clerks, mail handlers, custodians, truck drivers, pilots, nurses, inspectors and more. The post office is the last to close and usually the first to reopen after hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, blizzards, anthrax and, yes, pandemics. When you get your Social Security check, your favorite magazine, that “must have” item shipped to your door, and even your bills, thank your carrier and keep in mind all the other postal employees that made it possible and who will continue to do so.
