All my mail goes to a post box. Recently mailed a large envelope to my son in Afghanistan at the same post office. Found it in my box with a small postum, "Need 40 cents more postage and the Zip Code is wrong".
Kind act by an anonymous postal worker, who probably violated several regulations, so a service member could get his mail in a timely fashion. To that person, "Thank You".

Yeah, it IS the little things, and there are people out there who DO take the extra steps... sadly there are fewer and fewer every year!
Thank you for your comment. Per the Stat Counter, this post has one of the highest page loads of anything posted on this blog. Must be the snappy title. I wonder how many folks were disappointed with the posting? Expected something else?
I've seen first hand what mail means to the troops. My engineer company spent a lot of time in the field. Often the company would be scattered to different sites. A lot of the time I was the mailman. Loads of fun; 300-500 miles a day in a M-37. Rewarding job; seeing the reactions of my fellow soldiers at mail call.
