Naples
Main Office Rural Letter Carrier Toni Staples (front, right) received a Hero Commendation
and Letter from Postmaster General Megan Brennan, along with Letters of
Appreciation and Congratulations from Suncoast District Manager and Naples
Postmaster Richard Barber (front, left) during a recognition event in front of
her coworkers (above, back).
Staples
had completed her route and was going to her private vehicle to leave for the
day when she heard screaming coming from the customer parking lot. She
found an elderly lady sitting in the passenger seat of a car that was slowly
moving backwards towards six lanes of traffic. Staples noticed the car
was out of gear and quickly jumped in the driver’s seat and stopped the
car. Her prompt actions prevented a possible collision and
injuries.
Congratulations
and thank you for your heroic actions, Toni!
