Honoring Everyday Heroes

Debra Mitchell writes on Florida's Lehigh Acres Citizen website, "Would you like to support and thank local and everyday heroes? You can by purchasing and using 'Everyday Cards for Everyday Heroes,' which are being offered at the post office."

Mitchell goes on to say, "At $2.95 each, the six cards provide an affordable way to recognize the people who go above and beyond to serve the community. Also, until Sept. 16, all post offices have a 50 percent off coupon.

"The National Day of Service and Remembrance on Sept. 11 and Veterans Day, Nov. 11, give Americans the opportunity to express their gratitude to the everyday heroes in their lives by sending them these cards.

"In addition to active and retired members of the U.S. Armed Forces and first responders - firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians - everyday heroes also can be medical professionals, public servants, teachers, volunteers, parents and even letter carriers."
