City Carrier Craig Hall (center) sang the National Anthem in front of the Deerfield Post Office. Surrounding Hall are L to R: Supervisor, Customer Services Peter Gonzalez, American Legion Representatives Eddie Thimm and Greg Hardy, City Carrier Debbie MaClary, City Carrier Rick Hunter, Laborer Custodian Robert Munoz, City Carrier James West, City Carrier Assistant Dawn Elashmawy, and City Carrier George VanDyke.
Deerfield employees marched together to form a half circle around the flagpole during a Veterans Recognition Program. City Carrier Rick Hunter presented the American Flag and Debbie MaClary the POW-MIA Flag. After raising both flags, Supervisor, Customer Services Pedro Gonzalez led the team in the Pledge of Allegiance, and then City Carrier Craig Hall sang the National Anthem. Employees returned to the office where Postmaster Butch Belanger presented each veteran with a Certificate of Appreciation for their service. Refreshments were served in honor of all veterans.
"To all the veterans in the Deerfield Post Office and to those everywhere, I thank you for the years you served in our Armed Forces," said Belanger. "No matter what role you played, we here at home stayed safe because of your service to our country."
