By Chuck Mulidore
NAPS Executive Vice President
As we approach the end of another year, we continue to hear that the United States Postal Service is facing a number of challenges in the 21st century, including declining mail volume, increasing costs and competition from the private sector.

I want to wish all of you a safe, healthy and blessed Thanksgiving holiday and remind you that you are indispensable to your family. So, take care of yourself this upcoming holiday season.
