Item Description

Detailed Description
This item includes only one block, not all two block. I will send out any one block based on
availability. If
you want to specify any particular block, please check with me
before you
bid the item or place the
order.

In January 2012, the U.S. Postal Service®
invited the last living Korean War Medal of Honor recipients to join in
honoring the extraordinary courage of every member awarded the medal for
their valorous actions during the war. One
stamp features a photograph of the Navy version of the Medal of Honor;
the other stamp features a photograph of the Army version of the Medal
of Honor. The second page includes a short piece of text and a key to
the names of the recipients pictured in the cover photos. The names of
all 145 recipients of the Medal of Honor from the Korean War are listed
on page three. The remaining 18 stamps are found on the back page along
with a quote describing why the Medal of Honor is awarded, “For
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and
beyond the call of duty.” Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the
stamps and the new format, working with photographs of the medals by
Richard Frasier.

The Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award
for valor in combat, is presented “for conspicuous gallantry and
intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty.” In
January 2012, the U.S. Postal Service® invited the last living
recipients of the award from the Korean War to join in honoring the
extraordinary courage of every individual who received the Medal of
Honor for his actions during the war.

More than 6.8 million
people served with the American armed forces during the Korean War, but
only 145 received the Medal of Honor. The road to receiving this medal
is a long one. After being recommended, honorees are reviewed by a
lengthy chain of command, starting with their superiors and ending with
the Secretary of Defense and the President. More than two-thirds of the
men who received the Medal of Honor for their actions during the Korean
War were killed in action.
