In 1993, the Postal Service issued its third commemorative sheet for the 50th anniversary of World War II, featuring 10 stamps that highlight key events from 1943, including the Allied invasions of Sicily, Italy, and the U.S. assault on Tarawa. A map titled “1943: Turning the Tide” illustrates the war’s theaters and significant non-combat events, reflecting the war’s impact on American life. The sheets, resulting from nine years of planning, include future releases for 1944 and 1945. They serve as collectibles and gifts, appealing to veterans and history enthusiasts.
