With this 2017 edition of the U.S. Flag Stamp, the U.S. Postal Service continues its tradition of celebrating patriotism with one of the most recognizable symbols of our nation. The stamp features a detail from a photograph of the billowing Stars and Stripes. A traditional take on an old favorite, this stamp adds a touch of majesty and patriotic grace to First-Class Mail correspondence. The elegant yet simple design of the stamp conveys the quiet dignity of Old Glory waving in the wind and calls to mind the values of liberty and justice the American flag represents. The words "USA" and "FOREVER" are printed on the bottom of the design. Terrence W. McCaffrey was the art director of the project and Greg Breeding designed the stamp with an existing photograph of the flag taken by Tom Grill.
