The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to members of the U.S. military who have been wounded or killed in action. According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization for combat-wounded veterans, the medal is "the oldest military decoration in the world in present use and the first award made available to a common soldier." Established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, the badge of distinction for meritorious action - a heart made of purple cloth - was discontinued after the war. In 1932, on the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth, the decoration was reinstated and redesigned as a purple heart of metal bordered by gold, suspended from a purple and white ribbon. In the center of the medal is a profile bust of George Washington beneath his family coat of arms. The Purple Heart Medal stamp, first issued in 2012, is a redesign of the Purple Heart with Ribbon stamp. Ira Wexler photographed the medal. Art director Jennifer Arnold designed the stamp. The Purple Heart Medal stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp in self-adhesive sheets of 20 Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. This listing is for 1 sheet of 20 stamps

They're stamps alright. And the postal workers will take your mail if you stick them to the upper right corner of your envelopes.

I love Forever stamps. I don't do much postal mailing, but want to be sure I have stamps available for when I have to mail something out. Nothing more frustrating than going to mail something and discover "Oh yeah, they changed the postage rate last week." and have to go buy a bunch of special stamps to use up what I have. And these have the added bonus of honoring those who protected us and our country.
