Patriotic imagery featured on the cards is suitable for heroes from all walks of life — firefighters, police officers, teachers, volunteers and emergency medical technicians. U.S. Postal Service employees may also be described as everyday heroes, with nearly 350 employees recognized last year for life-saving works in the line of duty.

Ideal for expressing gratitude, the card collection offers six different designs, crafted with patriotic symbols and heartfelt expressions sure to make both the sender and recipient proud. Available at select Post Offices nationwide, “Everyday Cards for Everyday Heroes” at just $2.95 each provide an affordable way to send a salute through the mail.
