Martins Ferry Council to record proclamation recognizing U.S. Postal Service 250th anniversary
Summary
Ron Green of the Steubenville Letter Carriers asked Martins Ferry City Council to issue a proclamation recognizing the U.S. Postal Service’s 250th anniversary; council agreed to prepare the proclamation for formal action.
Ron Green, vice president of the National Association of Letter Carriers' Steubenville branch, asked the Martins Ferry City Council to pass a proclamation recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service and its service to the community.
Green, a 26-year postal employee, told council the postal system connects rural, suburban and urban communities, employs about 650,000 people (his figure), and operates as a self-funded agency. “No matter what you hear out there…we deliver to every address in this country,” he said, urging the council to post a proclamation on the branch and state postal publications and to formally recognize postal workers’ service.
Council members heard draft proclamation language read aloud that praised the postal service’s role in commerce, voting and delivery and stated the city would go on record supporting a robust postal service. After the presentation, council indicated it would prepare and file the proclamation for adoption.
The request was presented as a ceremonial recognition; the record shows council moved to prepare the proclamation text and acknowledged receipt of the presentation. The transcript does not include a signed proclamation number or effective date beyond a reference to the year 2026 in the draft language.
