The resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service, which was established by the Second Continental Congress on July 26, 1775, to ensure secure communication during the American Revolution. It highlights the postal service's constitutional foundation, its growth from 75 post offices in the original 13 colonies to over 30,000 locations nationwide, and its significant role in American history and culture. The resolution acknowledges the postal service's contributions to commerce, community connectivity, and its status as a vital part of the nation's infrastructure.

The Alabama Legislature expresses its recognition of the postal service's historic significance and honors the employees who have served and continue to serve in this capacity. It calls upon the people of Alabama to celebrate this milestone by engaging in activities such as writing letters, purchasing stamps, or acknowledging postal workers, thereby fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the service that has connected Americans for two and a half centuries.
