Camden, ME, PO Saluted

Postmaster Scott Boardman (at left) and TE Letter Carrier Zachary Herrick (center) accept the Department of Defense’s “Above and Beyond” Award on behalf of the Camden Post Office for its “outstanding support of our men and women who serve in the Guard or Reserve.”

Presenting the award at the group’s annual meeting was US Navy Commander Dustin Smiley (far right). The Postal Service has demonstrated consistent commitment to the goals of ESGR and to postal employees who serve in the armed forces.

“As a former sailor, I am very blessed to support our Guard and Reserves,” said Boardman. “I’m very proud of my employee, TE Carrier Zachary Herrick, who serves in the US Naval Reserve as a Builder Third Class." Herrick nominated the Camden Post Office for recognition.
