Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 1077 is a symbolic resolution expressing Congress's support for issuing a commemorative postage stamp honoring Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams Earley, a trailbaking military officer who became the first Black officer in the U.S. Army's Women's Army Corps. The resolution highlights Earley's remarkable service, including her 1944 command of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion in England—the first Black WAC unit stationed overseas—where her team cleared years' worth of mail backlogs in just three months. Though Earley passed away in 2002, she has since been recognized with a Congressional Gold Medal, a military fort renamed in her honor, and a VA clinic bearing her name. The resolution asks the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the U.S. Postal Service to recommend that the Postmaster General issue this commemorative stamp. As a symbolic measure, the resolution carries no direct fiscal impact or implementation timeline, but serves to formally encourage the Postal Service to honor her legacy.
