Happy Memorial Day from the Evansville Stamp Club!

Originally established in 1868 as “Decoration Day” to honor Union soldiers lost in the Civil War, Memorial Day evolved after World War I into a day of remembrance for all American service members who gave their lives in defense of our nation.

From patriotic commemoratives to military memorial issues, postage stamps have long helped preserve the stories and sacrifices behind this holiday.

Feel free to share photos of your favorite patriotic commemorative or military-themed stamps in the comments!

Until 1954, November 11 was observed as Armistice Day in remembrance of the ending of WWI. The WWI armistice took effect the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In 1954, President Eisenhower signed a bill renaming it as Veterans Day. This change was in response to a movement to honor all U.S. veterans, not just those from WWI. Today, we pause to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our nation’s military veterans.

📬Our Stamps of the Week are the numerous issued to commemorate our veterans. Featured are the 3-cent Honorable Discharge stamp from 1946 and the 34-cent Honoring Veterans stamp from 2001. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments!
