Proposed New Saying for the Post Office

There needs to be an addition to the inscription on the General Post Office on 8th Ave. and 33rd St. in New York City (no, it isn’t the Postal Service’s motto–they don’t have one).  Keep what’s there but add four words so that it would read, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor White House security stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”  It’s the least we can do to honor the spirit of 61-year-old Florida mailman and gyro-copter pilot Douglas Mark Hughes.
