National Thank A Letter Carrier Day is an annual celebration observed on February 4th of each year. We do receive postal letters or mail letters even in this modern tech era. The mailman or the letter carrier are those professionals who travel miles irrespective of the weather conditions. They bring all those letters, precious gifts, and every other important detail safely to your hand. These letter carriers are true to be acknowledged and honored with the special date in the calendar. National Thank A Letter Carrier Day is the perfect time to appreciate the letter carriers who carry letters for you.
“Americans have an expectation that the Postal Service will abide by its well-known, although unofficial, motto – a commitment to deliver.” – John M. McHugh
History of National Thank A Letter Carrier Day
The history, origin, founder, and year since the National Thank A Letter Carrier Day has been in celebration is anonymous. However, the history of the postal service is older than we think, and hence, this day has been celebrated ever since. The founder of the Day might have thought to honor those who deliver the postal letters directly to the homes and places of business. Thank A Mail Carrier Day is the other name for this day. There is a mention that people were hired to deliver royal letters as early as 2000 BC.
The oldest recorded postal document from Egypt dates back to 255 BC. The Second Continental Congress of 1775 established the first organized mail service in America called the Constitutional Post. Thank your mail person and the postal workers who do incredible work for you to celebrate their Day.
