While making his rounds, Hill spotted the customer laying on
the ground and bleeding outside her home. He rushed to her side, picked her up
off the ground and carried her inside. He called out to a family member who was
in the backyard and then called 911.
The woman was rushed to the hospital where she remained in
intensive care for several days. The family credits Hill’s quick actions for
saving the life of their mother.
Hill was recognized for his heroic efforts during a
celebration at the Edgewater Post Office. Acting MPOO Area C Christina Walker
presented Hill with a letter from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy commending him
for his “selfless display of civic duty.”
Walker also read a letter from Area Retail & Delivery
Operation Southern Vice President Tim Costello.
Employees were treated to refreshments following the event
The family of Chris Hill (left), including his father James Oscar (center) and brother James (right) were on hand to help celebrate their son-brother.
Thank you for your heroic actions, Chris!
