I'm unfamiliar with that delivery uniform, maybe it's another country's postal service, but the USPS has had a kind of "higher purpose" associated with it. E.g.

The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

You can write whatever you want, but until my mail guy stops throwing packages in the mud at the base of my mailbox instead of leaving them on my doorstoop, I'm holding on the hero title.
