United States Postal Service-Anthrax attack-twelve years later

Twelve years ago today, news began breaking that anthrax laden letters had
been detected in the US Mail. For all who mobilized on Columbus Day and
drove down to the L'Enfant Plaza that night, I say thanks. The minutes,
hours, days, months following the attacks were filled with great
uncertainty. Two of our own who came to work to their jobs fell to this
heinous attack. Looking back over the years, little was known about
anthrax then and am not sure any more is known today. Remember, in the
midst of all the dysfunction in Washington DC and a partial government
shutdown, the dedicated men and women of the United States Postal Service
continue to do what they do best-deliver the mail. God Bless 'em and thank
you.
