The Postal Service, older than the nation, was about more than mail

The latest government agency that President Donald Trump wants to disrupt is older than America itself.
In its 250 years, the U.S. Postal Service has delivered Revolutionary War battle plans, America’s first newspapers, countless absentee ballots, bank services to the underserved and care packages to soldiers on war fronts. For one ill-conceived year, it even delivered children.
Created amid danger and subterfuge, it was a necessary part of our nation’s fight for independence. It wasn’t always profitable. And for generations, our leaders were okay with that.
