Grullon Orlando Hero



Dixie Village Letter Carrier Rafael Grullon (center) was honored by Postmaster General (PMG) Megan Brennan with the PMG Hero Commendation Award. Orlando Postmaster Timothy Holmes (right) recognized Grullon for reporting a crime he witnessed while delivering his route. Grullon disrupted the burglars and called 911 to report the incident. Mercedes Grullon, Rafael’s wife, (left) attended the recognition event.  


Grullon smiles as he displays his Hero Award Trophy and commendation with Dixie Village Manager, Customer Services Michelle Blanchard (right) who nominated Grullon for the award. Blanchard stated, “Grullon is always keeping an eye out protecting his customers. On another day, he found a customer’s dog and returned it to the owners.”  After the ceremony, employees enjoyed cake and refreshments.

Thank you for taking care of your customers, Rafael!
