WASHINGTON D.C. — The United States Postal Service has unveiled several new stamps celebrating our military branches and key battlefields of the American Revolution.
The first-day-of-issue ceremony for 15 of the new stamps, titled Battlefields of the American Revolution, will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War.
They memorialize five turning points in the fight through water color paintings and photographs.
