UNSUNG HEROES 2022
Earlier in the year while delivering mail , Murray witnessed a woman chasing after her rollaway car . The customer fell under the car when she tried to stop it . Murray jumped into action to stop the car , alert her husband , and help rescue the woman . Fortunately , she did not sustain serious injuries .
When asked why he acted so quickly to come to the aid of his customer , Murray said , “ I didn ’ t have time to think . It was just instinct to want to help someone in need .”
“ It gives us great pride to have such an outstanding employee as Mr . Murray ,” said Postmaster David Norvell . “ USPS employees really do look out for their customers ”.
