| Background: |
In the coming days, the Postal Service will issue a new forever postage stamp that recognizes the men and women — including firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency medical service professionals — who respond to critical situations with skill, dedication and uncommon bravery. We are honoring Long Island First Responders at this event. The digital illustration on this stamp is a symbolic scene that shows three first responders as they race into action. First is a firefighter carrying an axe, second is an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) worker with an emergency bag, and third is a law-enforcement officer shining a flashlight. The event is free and open to the public. First Responders are all invited. |
