USPS to Salute Vietnam War Medal of Honor Recipients Memorial Weekend

The U.S. Postal Service will issue three stamps on Memorial Day that pay tribute to Medal of Honor recipients from the Vietnam War. The First-Day-Of-Issue ceremony will be at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC.
The stamps will depict the three versions of the medal — one each for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Each medal consists of a five-pointed star worn around the neck on a light blue ribbon.
The Medal of Honor was awarded to 258 Americans who served during the war. USPS also plans to preview the images that will appear on the selvage — the area outside the stamps on the sheet — including pictures of almost 50 living Vietnam era Medal of Honor recipients.
