In 1995, the USPS released the final installment of its World War II stamp series, titled “1945: Victory at Last,” commemorating events leading to Germany’s and Japan’s surrenders. The dedication ceremony, attended by President Clinton, took place on the USS Carl Vinson in Honolulu, near the USS Arizona Memorial. The series honors nearly 300,000 American service members who lost their lives during the war. Postmaster General Marvin Runyon remarked on the tribute’s significance. The 10-stamp collection (catalog #2981) is a collectors’ item, suitable for veterans, history enthusiasts, and various events.
