This House Resolution expresses the sentiment that a new commemorative postage stamp should be issued to honor the historic contributions of the Buffalo Soldiers . These regiments, established in 1866, played a crucial role in rebuilding the country after the Civil War and patrolling the western frontier, with 23 members receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor for their service. The resolution specifically calls for the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend to the Postmaster General that such a stamp be issued. It notes that a previous Buffalo Soldiers stamp was issued in 1994 but later taken off sale, emphasizing the fitting and proper nature of reissuing this tribute to their significant legacy in American military history.
