Postal Service to reissue Purple Heart stamp

United States Postal Service has said it will reissue the Purple Heart stamp as postal rates change.

New York State Senator William Larkin had originally contacted the Postal Service requesting that the Purple Heart stamp be issued as a "forever stamp" to avoid the difficulties that arise when postal rates are increased. While the reply he received back from USPS does not commit to the "forever stamp" it does express their intent to reissue the stamp should rates increase.

"I am very happy the United States Postal Service has seen fit to commit in writing their intent to reissue the Purple Heart stamp in the future" said Larkin. "This stamp is incredibly important to our veterans and their families and this commitment means a great deal to them.”
