The Postal Service is releasing three stamps — collectively known as the Armed Forces stamps — to honor the 250th anniversaries of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Each of these military branches was established in 1775.
The stamps feature the emblem of its force against a clean white backgrounds and includes the inscriptions “250 YEARS OF SERVICE,” “SINCE 1775” and “FOREVER/USA.”
They were designed by Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, and will be dedicated in Washington, DC, on Friday, May 16.
Each Armed Forces stamp is available in panes of 20 at Post Offices and usps.com.
