USPS Stamps honoring sailors

[TRhistorian]

If anybody is interested in stamps, the US Postal Service is going to issue a set of four stamps, commemorating four Sailors who served with bravery and distinction during the 20th century: William S. Sims, Arleigh A. Burke, John McCloy, and Doris Miller. Although-as far as I am informed-no Marines are portrayed, it might be of interest for some people.
Here is a link depicting the stamps:

Thats because the Marines have already had stamps made!

On November 10, 2005, the United States Postal Service issued its Distinguished Marines stamps in which Daly, Basilone, Lejeune, and Puller were honored.

Excellent job!!!!

Hey Doc, there was indeed a stamp issued to honor the Marine Corps´historical role and its bravery especially in the Pacific Theatre, actually this impressive stamp was issued back in 1945, picturing the flag raising at Iwo Jima, therefore also depicting John Bradley:
