"This is fantastic news for our veterans, their families, and the everyday American citizen," said Senator Larkin. "I am extremely pleased that the authorities at the United States Postal Service will make the Purple Heart Stamp available again this month. It will continue be circulated throughout the world and we will use it proudly as a reminder of the price of freedom in this great country."
