Tom Carper: “Again, we are in debt to each of you. We appreciate very much your preparation for today and your participation here…”

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

We will do it again. Maybe the next time we will actually make it to Columbia.
