With the 2019 Purple Heart Medal Forever stamp, the Postal Service continues to honor the sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the U.S. military. The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the president of the United States to members of the military who have been wounded or killed in action.
Something spooky this way comes . . . the U.S. Postal Service recently announced that the upcoming "Spooky Sihouettes" stamp issues will be released just in time for Halloween, on October 11, 2019.
