Today, Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK) introduced a resolution recognizing the 250th anniversary of the Postal Service. S. Res. 337 was introduced with eight other bipartisan co-sponsors: Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

The resolution recognizes the historical significance of the Postal Service, honors the public servants who have served and continue to serve the agency, and invites the public to commemorate this milestone by recognizing a postal employee, sending a letter, or purchasing stamps.

“NALC thanks Ranking Member Peters and Sen. Sullivan for leading this resolution that celebrates one of the most important and beloved institutions in America, the Postal Service,” NALC President Brian L. Renfroe said.

“Letter carriers have always been what make the Postal Service strong, carrying out its universal service obligation every day. On this anniversary, NALC members should be proud of everything we’ve accomplished since the establishment of our nation’s post office. Let this commemoration reignite our passion, energy and unity to keep fighting like hell for letter carriers for the next 250 years and beyond.”
