Summary

This House Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service (USPS) should issue a commemorative stamp honoring Charity Adams Earley . Specifically, it urges the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend to the Postmaster General that such a stamp be issued. Charity Adams Earley was the first Black officer in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) , rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She notably commanded the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion , the first Black WAC unit deployed overseas, which successfully cleared a massive backlog of mail for American soldiers in Europe. Her distinguished service and leadership have been recognized posthumously with the Congressional Gold Medal and the renaming of Fort Gregg-Adams, making a commemorative stamp a fitting tribute to her legacy.
