In mid-June, 2008, the first of a multiyear series of 60 stamps will began to wave across the counters of the nation’s 37,000 Post Offices. The series highlights the Stars and Stripes, 50 state flags, five territorial flags, and the District of Columbia flag. Ten stamps will be issued in the spring — Stars and Stripes, plus Alabama through Delaware — followed by 10 more in the fall — District of Columbia through Kansas. The series continues in 2009 and 2010, with four of the six groups of 10 to include a Stars and Stripes stamp.
