It’s not every day that Postmaster General Megan Brennan writes to an employee. But when you come to the aid of a crying five-year-old who is lost, it’s important to recognize an employee for a heroic action.
The PMG wrote:

“I want to commend your heroic actions and selfless display of civic duty. You deserve the highest level of admiration for coming to the aid of a little girl who was dropped off at the wrong bus stop. I am proud of the sound judgment and compassion you showed in keeping her calm and staying with her until a family member arrived. Thank you for the way you handled this emergency and for being the eyes and ears of your community.”
The child’s grandmother also praised Herrera:

“The substitute bus driver dropped off my granddaughter, Layla, at the wrong location. Layla didn’t have a clue where she was, but recognized the letter carrier and ran to him. I don’t know what would have happened that day, if he had not been there to help her. Thank you from our entire family!”
Manager, Post Office Operations Robert Weiser, Boca Raton, FL, Postmaster Carlos Rodon, Jr. and National Letter Carrier Association Branch 1071 President Mike Gill recognized and praised Boca Raton, FL, Letter Carrier Richard Herrera in front of his peers at a celebration in his honor.
