Honoring First Responders Forever Stamps (1 Sheet of 20) Scott 5316

First Responders Come to the Rescue on New Forever Stamp! U.S. Postal Service Honors All Types of Emergency Personnel in this new forever stamp released on Sept 13th, 2018, recognizing Firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical service professionals and other emergency personnel.

Our nation's first responders rush into life-threatening situations for the benefit of others, The United States Postal Service honors their skill, dedication and unfailing bravery with this stamp.

Artist Brian Stauffer worked with art director and designer Antonio Alcalá and designer Ricky Altizer to create this stamp. As a contributing artist to The New York Times, Time magazine, The New Yorker and other publications worldwide, Stauffer's illustrations are best known for bridging traditional and digital realms to create a conceptual take on social issues.

Emergencies of all varieties and scales occur in our communities every day, from crimes and medical incidents to accidents and fires. These critical situations require men and women who possess the training and knowledge to rescue the endangered, treat the injured, and restore safety and order. First responders are found throughout our society, from small townships to the federal government. They include a wide range of law enforcement professionals and public safety personnel, from air marshals and transit police officers, to ski patrollers, park rangers, and fish and game wardens. For many, it is a volunteer job; for others, it is their full-time occupation.

This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price
