Key Points
- The Senate passed a resolution to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States postal service. This group was first started by the Second Continental Congress on July 26, 1775, to help people and the army communicate during the American Revolution.
- The resolution highlights how much the mail system has grown over the years. It started with only 75 post offices in the original 13 colonies and now has more than 30,000 locations across the country.
- Today, the postal service delivers mail and packages to over 168 million locations six days a week. The Senate wants to honor the workers who keep this system running and encourage Americans to celebrate by writing letters or buying stamps.
