I loved this story from a few months ago. I believe it's important to go the extra mile and some people go way beyond the extra mile. Alvin Gauthier is a postal worker in Grand Prairie, Texas, who in April found undelivered letters at work from 1943-1945. The letters were from World War 11 Army veteran Marion Lamb, but they had no address on them.
What did he do? He made a lot of phone calls and finally found out that the family lived in Arkansas. He said, "I could have stuck them in the mail, but it's kind of like sometimes you have to above and beyond." On his day off he traveled 379 miles to deliver the mail to the sister of Marion Lamb.
The letters got separated from a package that was being sent to her. Gauthier used to send letters to his parents when he was serving in Iraq and knew how important the letters were. There are a lot of great people in this country and this guy is certainly one of them.
