Simple Heroes = Real Heroes

Not Ignoring Strangers

While delivering to cluster boxes on her route, Layton, UT, Rural Carrier Shauna Kirkman saw a man approaching who seemed to be confused. When he stumbled and nearly fell, Kirkman caught him, helped him sit down and called 911. Kirkman gave the man her jacket, comforted him and waited until an ambulance arrived. Rescue personnel said it appeared the man had a stroke.

“Heroes don’t start out to be heroes,” said Layton Postmaster Kevin Coombs, noting that Kirkman always has “gone the extra mile” for her customers. “They don’t wear badges that say ‘hero.’ You never know what you might be called upon to do while delivering your route.”
