Commemorating the American Revolution with U.S. Stamps
Over 100 stamps have been issued by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to commemorate the revolutionary period in American history. What stories are they telling us about the birth of our nation? What events and people do these stamps portray? What is the significance of these events and people for our current time? Why should we care, as a people and a nation? This paper will explore these issues using illustrations of selected stamps from my personal collection.
