    This special stamp was issued in honor of those who served in the Second World War. The stamp is 75/100 by 87/100 inch in dimension, arranged vertically. It is printed in purple by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 100. The central design is a fac­simile of the Honorable Discharge Emblem on a graduated tone background. Across the top in a single line is the lettering "United States Postage" in dark Gothic. In each lower corner appears the denomination "3c" in dark Gothic numerals. Arranged in two lines between these numerals is the wording "Honoring Those Who Have Served," in dark Gothic. Five stars representing those who died in the five services are arranged horizontally, three above the emblem, and two below centered above the denominational numerals. The stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on May 9, 1946.
