Neither Snow Nor Rain Day

Neither Snow Nor Rain Day

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" is a phrase associated with the American postal worker as the unofficial creed of the U.S. Postal Service. It's not an official motto of the U.S. Postal Service, but it embodies the spirit of the postal service in making sure we all get our mail delivered on time! While the U.S. Postal Service cannot really guarantee this kind of promise due to unforeseen circumstances, the idea is clear. 

The date to celebrate is the date of the original New York City post office opening at the James A Farley building in 1914 that has the inscription. 

Celebrate your postal workers today and be thankful for the opportunity to send and receive mail, even when it is raining or snowing!
