This U.S.P.S. branch is also known as the Clarence B. Craft Station. From Wikipedia, the following brief history of Sergeant First Class Craft -

"Clarence Byrle Craft (September 23, 1921 – March 28, 2002) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Craft joined the Army from Santa Ana, California in September 1944, and by May 31, 1945 was serving as a private first class in Company G, 382nd Infantry Regiment, 96th Infantry Division. On that day, on Okinawa Island, he single-handedly attacked the Japanese-held "Hen Hill". After reaching the summit and throwing numerous hand grenades at enemy positions on the reverse slope, he assaulted the main Japanese trench, chased the defenders into a cave, and destroyed the cave with an explosive device. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor six months later, on November 1, 1945.

Craft reached the rank of sergeant first class and served in the Korean War before leaving the Army.

Over a 10 year period, Craft logged over 9,300 hours assisting veterans at the Fayetteville Veterans Administration Medical Center as a volunteer. Craft died at age 80 and was buried in Fayetteville National Cemetery, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

On November 9, 2002, a post office in Fayetteville was renamed the Clarence B. Craft Post Office Building."

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
