Background:

The U.S. Postal Service continues its long tradition of honoring the flag of the United States with a new stamp available in booklets of 20, panes of
20, and coils of 100, 3,000, and 10,000.

Born from the necessity to secure American independence, the three branches trace their foundational roots to 1775. In this pivotal year, the Second Continental Congress recognized the urgent need for a unified military force and established the Continental Army on June 14, followed by the Continental Navy on Oct. 13, and the Continental Marines on Nov. 10, recognizing the urgent need for a unified military force. While the Continental forces were disbanded, the imperative need for a standing military led to the reestablishment of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps in subsequent years.

Today, these forces stand as powerful symbols of strength and resilience, embodying core values such as loyalty, duty, honor and courage.

The stamps will be on sale at the Moose Lodge across the street from Darby Park, 1366 E Caro Rd, Caro, MI 48723. The stamps are also available at post offices nationwide.
