Celebrating 125 years: In 1889, the Milwaukee Letter Carriers, knowing many of their fellow carriers would be attending the Grand Army of the Republic encampment in their city that summer, issued an official Call to meet during the reunion to form a national association and act on other matters of importance to letter carriers and their families. Heeding the Call, 60 letter carriers from 18 states gathered in the meeting room above Schaefer’s Saloon. On August 29, 1889, they unanimously adopted a resolution to form a National Association of Letter Carriers. Click here for more facts and history.
