Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity of the United States Postal Service, should issue a series of forever postage stamps to honor the sacrifices of servicemembers who have been designated prisoner, missing, or unaccounted for, and for other purposes.
This resolution (HRES 1624) urges the U.S. Postal Service’s Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to create a series of permanent postage stamps honoring servicemembers designated as prisoners, missing, or unaccounted for. It specifically recommends stamps featuring those whose remains were recovered and brought home, aiming to recognize their sacrifices and support families awaiting closure. The bill does not require USPS action but expresses the House’s view that such stamps would raise public awareness and affirm that these individuals “shall not be forgotten.” It directly affects POW/MIA families and the broader public through commemorative postal items.
