With the increase of the postage rate from 37 cents to 39 cents the Purple Heart stamp is in danger of becoming obsolete.Veterans groups and Sen. Hillary Clinton are trying to save it.
The Purple Heart is awarded to U.S. soldiers wounded or killed in action. My father is a Purple Heart recipient, and I am all for keeping it out of extinction.
They started selling the stamps two months after the U.S. invasion into Iraq. With our troops still over there risking their lives I don't see why we shouldn't continue the stamp in honor of them.
