Summary[edit]

Description
English: U.S. Postage Stamp, Navy Issue of 1937, 2c, red
Commemorating Stephen Decatur and Thomas MacDonough

the Army, Navy and various war heros of the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the
American Civil War. His dream was never realized until 1937 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who was a serious stamp collector himself, urged congress and the U.S. Post Office to issue the
long overdue Army and Navy Issue of 1937; Ten stamps consisting of two sets of five, one each for the Army and Navy, with denominations of 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c and 5c.
