The U.S. Postal Service is honoring three of the nation\u2019s military branches \u2014 the Army, Navy and Marine Corps \u2014 with commemorative stamps to mark 250 years of service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the three stamps features the respective name of the military service, the service seal and the inscriptions \u201c250 Years of Service,\u201d \u201cSince 1775\u201d and \u201cForever\/USA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stamps were unveiled during a ceremony today at Freedom Plaza in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio Alcal\u00e1, an art director for the USPS, designed the stamps<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three military-themed commemorations are in the \u201cForever\u201d class of postage and can be used to send a one-ounce first-class letter, regardless of the current price of first-class postage, according to the release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cService isn\u2019t about a uniform. It\u2019s about impact. It\u2019s about showing up. It\u2019s about standing up when it matters the most,\u201d said Jeffery Adams, USPS spokesperson and an Army veteran. \u201cAs we honor 250 years of military service … we also recognize those who are serving right now all over the world and keeping our freedoms alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
