Star-Spangled Banner Stamp

Today, the U.S. Postal Service showcased the Star-Spangled Banner Forever Stamp during a special ceremony at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, home to the 15-star, 15-stripe flag that inspired the national anthem.

The stamp was first issued Jan. 28 of this year. It was featured at the museum to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key's song “Star-Spangled Banner.”  

You can read more about the stamp on the USPS website here and here.  Additionally, the Smithsonian Institute has a Star-Spangled Banner website.
