Summary
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service. The resolution notes the service began on July 26, 1775 when the Second Continental Congress set up a national mail system to secure communication for the Continental Army and citizens. It cites the Constitution's authority for post offices and says the modern Postal Service became an independent establishment in 1971. It highlights six-day delivery to 168,600,000 delivery points and growth from 75 post offices to over 30,000 locations. It honors postal employees and invites Americans to mark the anniversary by writing a letter, buying stamps, or recognizing a postal worker.
