The United States Postal Service has just issued a
"Healing PTSD" semipostal stamp that will raise money to be
distributed to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs for the National Center
for PTSD.
The First-Class stamps will sell for 65 cents, a ten-cent
premium over the standard price. A semipostal stamp is one designed to fund
causes in the public interest and in this case that interest is post-traumatic
stress. The extra money will be donated to the cause.
The "Healing PTSD" stamp features a photo
illustration of a green plant sprouting from ground covered in fallen leaves,
symbolizing the PTSD healing process. Art director Greg Breeding designed the
stamp with original art by Mark Laita.
