The U.S. Senate adopted a resolution last week recognizing the 250th anniversary of the Postal Service.
“It’s a testament to the important work we do, and how long we have been doing it, that the United States Senate took this gratifying bipartisan and unanimous action to salute the Postal Service’s 250th anniversary,” said Postmaster General David Steiner.
Approved by voice vote, the resolution highlights the organization’s unique place in American history and praises it for embodying “the spirit of innovation, determination, longevity and resilience of the United States.”
It ends by inviting Americans “to join in the celebration … by writing a letter, buying stamps, or recognizing a postal employee.”
The resolution was co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of 14 senators. The full text can be found at Congress.gov.
