Loxahatchee Rural Letter Carrier Cliff Richards was delivering mail when a speeding vehicle pulled out of a customer’s driveway, nearly striking his LLV. The son of the customer, who had been robbed and knocked to the grown by the thieves, pointed frantically at the vehicle. Thanks to Richards’ description of the vehicle, the thieves were quickly apprehended.

Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe thanked Cliff in a commendatory letter.

"The assistance you rendered to a customer during a home robbery is worthy of the highest commendation," said the PMG. "Not only did your heroic response possibly save the life of the victim, but also enabled authorities to capture the suspects. You make me proud to be a part of the same postal family."
