“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Billy Raymond, a letter carrier in my hometown. In October, Francis Raymond, better known as Billy, will celebrate 30 years of carrying mail along the same postal route. Billy is well known to residents on his longtime Delaware County route and vice versa. Billy knows the names of the kids and dogs on his route, and he greets them on his rounds. Four years ago, Billy was honored as a member of the prestigious Million Mile Club. That club celebrates postal workers who have safely driven over 1 million miles or served the Postal Service for more than 30 years. The United States Postal Service plays a critical role for our country, connecting family, friends, businesses, and government agencies across the Nation, and Billy Raymond is a critical part of that connection in Pennsylvania's Fifth District. February 4 is Thank a Letter Carrier Day, so I want to thank Billy Raymond for his dedication and to extend a broader thank-you to all the hardworking postal workers serving at the 60 post offices across my district. ____________________”
