Description:
On January 29, the Star Ribbon Forever stamp was one of five early 2019 releases announced by the U.S. Postal Service, which set the first-day dedication for March 22 in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.
Presented as ��a stamp designed to meet the needs of business mailers,�� the artwork is described as featuring a digital star of red, white and blue ribbon, with the white space in the middle of the ribbon creating a second smaller star. ��The tricolored ribbon, folded into a patriotic symbol,�� said a USPS press release, ��is intended to evoke the connectedness of the American people.��
Even aside from their frequent symbolic appearances on U.S. Flag and Holiday postage, stars have long had an important place in American stamps.
