Purple Heart Stamp Facts and
Suggested Talking Points
• The Postal ServiceTM will reissue the definitive Purple
Heart stamp (at the new First-Class 39-cent rate)
commemorating one of the oldest military decorations in the world, and honoring the sacrifices of
those who served as well as to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the VA on May 26 in Arlington, Virginia.
The stamp will be a nationwide issuance.
• The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the
President of the United States to members of the
U.S. military who have been wounded in combat or to
the next of kin of those killed in action.
• According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart,
an organization for combat-wounded veterans, the
medal is "the oldest military decoration in the world in
present use and the first award made available to the
common soldier."
• 50 million stamps will be printed initially.
• The stamp image features a photograph by Ira
Wexler of one of two Purple Hearts awarded to
James Loftus Fowler of Alexandria, Virginia. Fowler
was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marines and
was serving as battalion commander of the Third
Battalion, Fourth Marines, when he received this
Purple Heart in 1968 following action close to the Ben
Hai River on the border between North and South
Vietnam.
• The original 37-cent stamp design was unveiled in
Shreveport, Louisiana, at a Purple Heart luncheon at
Barksdale Air Force Base on April 26, 2003.
• As with all of our stamp subjects, the ideas and
suggestions for stamps come to the Citizens' Stamp
Advisory Committee (CSAC) from American citizens.
CSAC carefully reviews every one of the 50,000 recommendations they receive each year against a long
list of criteria. The subjects they select then go to the
postmaster general for final selection. CSAC and the
Postal Service are interested in providing a diverse
stamp program to the American public that appeals
to a wide audience of varied interests and best represents the people, events, and accomplishments that
have shaped our nation.
• Stamp collecting is a fun activity for the entire family
that helps children learn about the world in which
they live.
• Customers can get information about stamps and
other Postal Service products by calling our toll-free
number (800-STAMP-24) or by going to our Web site
at www.usps.com.
Sample Postmaster's Speech
The following suggested speech segment is for use at
local ceremonies and events to support and promote the
Purple Heart stamp. Feel free to customize it to fit your local
event and community.
Good [insert "Morning/Afternoon"]
I'm [insert name of postmaster/district manager/MC]
and it's a tremendous honor for me to represent the United
States Postal Service today as we unveil the second issue
of the Purple Heart stamp.
At a time when our military service members continue to
serve in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is appropriate that the
Purple Heart stamp be reissued at the new First-Class rate.
It is also appropriate that this stamp is being reissued as
the Department of Veterans Affairs - the VA - celebrates
its 75th anniversary.
We are proud the Purple Heart stamp has re-entered our
gallery of significant events in American history as part of
the Postal Service's 2006 stamp program, which celebrates
the people, events, and history of our nation. Many Americans are inspired to find out more about the stamp subjects
they see on their letters and packages, and thousands
more become collectors every year.
Stamps are unique reminders of the amazing, triumphant, and spectacular accomplishments that shape the
world in which we live, and clearly show that the Postal
Service does more than provide mail service - the real
power of the Postal Service is our ability to connect people.
This stamp continues to honor the sacrifices of the brave
men and women who were wounded or killed while serving
in the U.S. military.
In 1782, during the Revolutionary War, General George
Washington issued an order that established a badge of
distinction for meritorious action. The badge is known to
have been awarded to three sergeants from Connecticut
regiments.
Known as the Badge of Military Merit, the award was
distinctive because it was available to the lower ranks at a
time when only officers were eligible for decoration in
European armies. "The road to glory in a patriot army,"
Washington wrote, "is thus open to all."
Now it is the Postal Service's turn to continue
Washington's patriotic tradition. When you use this stamp, I
hope it will remind you and all Americans of the courage of
our men and women in uniform, and the price they have
paid so that all of us can enjoy living in this great country.
I would like thank all of you and all of our guests for joining us here today.
Now, would [Insert names of unveiling participants if
