NAUGATUCK, CT — Three Naugatuck letter carriers received a "Million Mile Award" from the National Safety Council at a recent post office award ceremony.

Honored at the ceremony were Naugatuck letter carriers Michael Eureka (31 years of service), Augusto Lopes (31 years of service) and Raymond Lesko Jr. (34 years of service).
All three were presented with a plaque from the National Safety Council by Postmaster Brian Falcha, alongside Supervisor Customer Service Fernanda M. Alves.
