Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in honor of the Buffalo Soldiers.
HCONRES 75 is a non-binding resolution expressing Congress's support for issuing a new commemorative postage stamp honoring the Buffalo Soldiers. It directly affects the U.S. Postal Service by urging the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend such a stamp to the Postmaster General. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the Buffalo Soldiers - African American soldiers who served in all-Black regiments from 1866 to 1948 - and references a previous 1994 stamp that was discontinued. It does not create a new law but formally requests the Postal Service consider this commemoration.
