FLAG POSTAGE STAMPS
The issuance of the latest U.S. flag stamp helps maintain a 26-year tradition of the continuous appearance of the U.S. flag as a major design element on one or more stamps.
With the advent of multicolor capability, the appearance of the U.S. flag on a stamp was immediate and there have been at least 18 stamps released since that time featuring "Old Glory."
