Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in honor of the Buffalo Soldiers.
This non-binding resolution (HRES 862) asks the House of Representatives to express support for issuing a new commemorative postage stamp honoring the Buffalo Soldiers. It directs the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend such a stamp to the Postmaster General. The resolution highlights the Buffalo Soldiers’ historical service - 6 all-Black regiments formed in 1866, their role in frontier patrols, and 23 Congressional Medals of Honor earned over 82 years. It does not create funding or require the Postal Service to issue a stamp, but formally requests the advisory committee’s consideration. This procedural resolution affects only the stamp selection process, not policy or funding.
