Star Ribbon Forever First Class Postage Stamps

A single ribbon in red, white and blue, folded into a five-pointed star, drawn as a flat digital illustration. The white section running through the middle of the fold makes a second, smaller star inside the first. FOREVER and USA sit underneath. One continuous ribbon making one shape is the whole idea - the Postal Service described it as standing for how Americans are connected, which is a lot to ask of a ribbon but the design carries it better than most patriotic issues manage.

It is a quieter patriotic option than a flag, which makes it easier to use year-round: business correspondence, membership renewals, condolence cards to a service family, mail around Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Sheets of 20. As a Forever stamp it covers a one-ounce letter at the current rate no matter what it cost the year it was printed.
