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.

Key Points

• This resolution is a formal request from Congress to the U.S. Postal Service to create a special postage stamp. It honors Charity Adams Earley, a woman who made history as the first Black female officer in the Army's Women's Army Corps.
• During World War II, Earley led an all-Black female battalion in Europe. Her team was responsible for sorting and delivering millions of pieces of mail to soldiers. They were so efficient that they finished a six-month backlog of mail in only three months, ensuring troops stayed connected with their families.
• This action is part of a larger effort to recognize Earley’s service. She has already been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and had a military base in Virginia renamed in her honor. A stamp would serve as a daily reminder to Americans of her contributions to the country and her work breaking racial and gender barriers.
