A MESSAGE FROM THE POSTMASTER – ALICE WELLEN . . . . . . . From May 17 to June 13, the Post Office held the Heroes of 2001 stamps promotion.  The results are in.  “VALMEYER HAS THE TOP HONOR!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to all the customers who purchased these stamps.  This is the second time Valmeyer Post Office customers have supported the Heroes promotion and came away with the top honors.  The last promotion for the Heroes stamps was held in September, 2002.  Almost 1800 stamps were bought and put on letters and packages.  Thanks again for all your support.”  Eight cents from every stamp sale is a contribution which provides assistance to the families of emergency relief personnel killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty in connection with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.  Stamps make great gifts for loved ones of all ages.  The Heroes of 2001 stamps and a wide variety of other stamps may be purchased at your local Post Office, by calling 800-STAMP-24, or by accessing the Postal Service web site at www.usps.com.
