An excerpt from the PMG's letter to Barbara, states, “I want to commend you for your heroism and selfless display of civic duty. Your attentiveness and the quick actions you took to rescue a woman who was frantic and wounded saved her life. I am proud of how you handled this heinous situation and for the care you extend toward the citizens in your community.”
Then, she received a certificate of commendation from the Alabama District. Area III Acting MPOO Larry D. Muse arrived at the West Blocton Post Office Thursday morning, March 17, to present Barbara with the award and some other gifts, and West Blocton Postmaster Daphne McClain arranged breakfast for the entire office in honor of the occasion.
The event came as a complete surprise to Barbara, who remained speechless, even after Muse finished presenting her with the award.
