The denomination will be $ 0.37 with the set being called Distinguihed Marines

A salute to Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S.Postal Service, the Honorable John Potter for recognizing America's true heroes through the issuance of these and other services during his tenure as head of the Postal Service.

Members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart may recall that their long fought battle for a Purple Heart Stamp met with success as one of the first orders of business following his appointment to the position of PMG by President George W.Bush.
