The U.S. Postal Service is celebrating the release of three individual commemorative stamps honoring the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Each stamp pays tribute to a vital component of the nation’s defense, recognizing their shared origins in the American Revolutionary War.
“These stamps serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy and unwavering dedication of the women and men who have built and sustained the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps for the past 250 years,” said Jeffery Adams, USPS corporate communications vice president. “As we commemorate this significant milestone, we honor their courage, their commitment and their vital role in safeguarding the freedoms we hold dear.”
Adams served as dedicating official at a May 16 ceremony held at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. Joining him for the ceremony were master of ceremonies Lora McLucas, USPS Maryland district manager; Lt. Gen. Gregory Brady, inspector general, U.S. Army; Vice Adm. Mike Boyle, staff director, U.S. Navy; Lt. Gen. Paul Rock Jr., staff director, U.S. Marine Corps; and Martin Mieras, USPS military programs specialist and a retired U.S. Army command sergeant major.
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.
With the U.S. Army 250th stamp, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and honors its service to the nation.
Predating the establishment of the United States by more than a year, the Army has been called America’s first national institution. Withits Revolutionary-era motto “This We’ll Defend,” today’s Army includes approximately 450,000 active-duty soldiers, more than 325,000 soldiers in the Army National Guard, nearly 190,000 soldiers in the Army Reserve, and more than 265,000 civilians who provide missionessential support, all of whom remain mindful of the Army’s core values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp.
The U.S. Army 250th stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current FirstClass Mail® one-ounce rate.
