Sarah Van de Laar, a City Letter Carrier out of Bensalem, Pennsylvania, received the Combination NALC and USPS Hero Award at a ceremony on July 1, 2025.
On May 28, 2025, Sarah witness a vehicle drive into the yard while on her route. Sarah rushed over to the to check on the status of the driver, Robert Simon. While Sarah was on the phone with Emergency Services, Mr. Simon slumped back into the driver’s seat and became unresponsive. Sarah then waved over another bystander to help get Mr. Simon out of the car. Once Mr. Simon was out of the car, Sarah proceeded to perform chest compressions as instructed by the 911 Operator until an ambulance arrived. Once the medics took over, they were successfully able to revive Mr. Simon and take him to the hospital, where he recovered. There is no doubt that Sarah’s quick thinking & action saved Mr. Simon’s life
“I was at the right place at the right time. I’m glad I was able to help him.” Sarah said, retelling the story to Branch President Sean Geackel.
