Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity of the United States Postal Service, should issue a commemorative stamp in honor of Charity Adams Earley.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' sense that the U.S. Postal Service should issue a commemorative stamp honoring Lt. Col. Charity Adams Earley. It specifically directs the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (a USPS entity) to recommend such a stamp to the Postmaster General. The resolution highlights her historic role as the first Black officer in the Women’s Army Corps and her leadership of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion during WWII, which cleared critical mail backlogs in Europe. This is a symbolic measure with no binding effect on USPS policy.
