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!
