PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) — The Postal Service will honor Princeton Letter Carrier Paul Felger as a Postmaster General Hero for his actions aiding a customer. The presentation will take place at the Princeton Post Office, 1000 Mercer St., on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.
While delivering his route earlier this year, Felger noticed a customer who seemed to be in distress. Felger stopped to assist the customer who said he thought he might be having a heart attack. Felger called emergency services and stayed with the customer until help arrived.
“Paul is a terrific person and excellent employee”, said Postmaster Tyler Jackson. “We are so proud of him and know he is willing to help any of his customers.”
Kentucky-West Virginia Manager, Post Office Operations Thomas Buzzo will join Jackson to present the award.
The Postmaster General Hero Award is given to those who perform a heroic act above and beyond the call of duty while on the job. One of the goals of Delivering for America, the Postmaster General’s 10-year Plan to achieve financial sustainability and service excellence, is recognizing the women and men of the Postal Service who live, work, and serve in every American community.
