Mail carrier Zack Wyscarver delivers mail in freezing temperatures in Omaha, Neb., Monday, Dec. 5, 2011. Unprecedented cuts by the cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service will slow first-class delivery next spring and, for the first time in 40 years, eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day.

Capt. Corey Steiner is welcomed home by his daughter, Lilliana Steiner, during a homecoming ceremony, Friday, Oct. 21, 2011 at Ft. Carson, Colo.
