Naomi Curry awarded a citation on her last day with USPS.
Curry was also presented with a special citation in her honor.
"We talk about the people who are heroes especially over the last year but also every single day who go out rain, snow, shine, whatever it may be to make sure the job is done. Naomi, for almost three decades you’ve been one of those heroes," said Haywood
She says it was the best last day of work she could've ever ask for.
