Melrose FL Post Office joins Fire Department for Breast Cancer Awareness effort


When the Melrose FL Post Office began preparing for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, everything began to turn pink inside the post office. 

There even was a Pink Survivors Tree to hold the ribbons of those you want to remember when customers buy special Breast Cancer Stamps. 

The only thing missing in the Pink Postal Wonderland was pink uniform shirts.  

For the small community of Melrose this was not a problem.

The Melrose Volunteer Fire Department, who were also supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, made the Post Office Gals Honorary Firemen for the Day so they would not be out of uniform and could wear the fire department's Pink Awareness uniform shirts.

"What better way to show everyone that Melrose cares," said Postmaster Debbie Adkins.
