Since the United States Postal Service® started to issue stamps more than 150 years ago, just about every one of them has also carried a message about our shared heritage and the people and events that have helped build our great nation.
Over the years, many stamps have commemorated veterans and accomplishments by our military, from colonial days to the present.
