The U.S. Postal Service has released a new, very special stamp for customers. The new stamp is of a green plant sprouting up from the ground under fallen leaves. It is meant to mean healing, which is appropriate because the funds go to veterans who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In addition, the Postal Service released a statement about the new stamp. They said, “The Postal Service is honored to issue this semipostal stamp as a powerful symbol of the healing process, growth, and hope for tens of millions of Americans who experience PTSD.”
