U.S. Army 250th Stamps, Sheet of 20

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. With its 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 mission-essential 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 Alcalä 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 First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. Stamp Issuance: May 16, 2025 Washington, DC 20066 Made in the USA
