Celebrating the 'Red, White, and Blue'

Celebrate America with the Red, White, and Blue issuance. Each of the four stamps features a modern interpretation of a flying flag, complete with six red and white wavy stripes and a handful of five-pointed stars. The designs were inspired by 20th-century American ephemera, such as pins and flags.
Designed for business use, the Red, White, and Blue Forever stamps are being issued in self-adhesive large coils of 10,000. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
Ethel Kessler was the art director. Greg Berger designed the stamps.
