Tie a Navy Blue
Ribbon Around Your Mailbox Pole to Honor Postal Workers-Grass
Roots Effort!
Summary of eRumor:
To honor postal workers who are in the line of
fire when it comes to bioterrorism, tie a navy blue ribbon around
your mailbox pole.
The Truth:
There is no official organization that we know of that is sponsoring
this.
It's an idea that occurred to someone and that person decided to
start an email claiming it was a nationwide campaign.
Last updated 10/12/01
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
A nationwide campaign is underway to honor postal workers who are on the
front lines daily, especially now because of biological warfare.
In support of our nation's carriers, clerks, mailhandlers, drivers and
all those in-between, everyone is being asked to tie navy blue ribbons
around their mailbox poles.
This is a wonderful opportunity to honor postal employees, quiet heroes
in their own right, and share our commitment to keep our nation united
by keeping the mail moving.
Please tie a blue ribbon around your mailbox pole and spread the word!
