NORCROSS, GA — Norcross Postmaster Cory Muldrow will preside over a dedication ceremony of the First Responders Stamp during the Southeastern Stamp Expo, Jan. 25-27, at the Atlanta Hilton Northeast, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., Peachtree Corners, GA.

The dedication ceremony takes place at 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 25, in the Medlock auditorium. A signing ceremony will be held at 11:30 a.m. in the Medlock auditorium lobby.

With this stamp, the Postal Service 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.

The digital illustration on this stamp is a symbolic scene that shows three first responders in profile, facing right, as they race into action. From left to right, the first figure is a firefighter carrying an axe. The second figure is an EMS worker, with the EMS Star of Life visible on her cap, upper arm and emergency bag. The third figure is a law-enforcement officer shining a flashlight toward unknown danger ahead.
