Why the stamp was issued: This pane of 15 stamps was issued to commemorate five significant battles of the Revolutionary War and the 250th anniversary of the start of the war.

About the stamp design: Each battlefield is portrayed using a modern photograph of the site, along with an illustration of the battle spanning two stamps. US Postal Service art director Derry Noyes chose Greg Harlin to illustrate the battle scenes using watercolor paintings.

First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place at Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts. This is the site of the opening battle of the American Revolution.

History the stamp represents: The American Revolution was the defining struggle that tested the courage and resolve of the colonies in their quest for independence. From the first shots fired in Massachusetts to the final surrender in Virginia, these battles were the baptism by fire in which a new nation was forged.

Lexington and Concord (April 19, 1775) ignited the war when Briths troops clashed with colonial militia. The “shot heard ‘round the world” at Lexington was followed by a colonial victory at Concord, Marking the start of open rebellion. At Bunker Hill (June 17, 1775), despite losing the battle, the Americans showed they could stand up to the British. The costly British victory demonstrated the resolve of the colonial forces and made them realize the war would not be easily won.

After leading a late-night crossing of the Delaware River, Washington commanded his troops in a daring attack on a Hessian garrison in Trenton on December 26, 1776. A turning point of the war, it boosted American morale and reinvigorated the Revolution. The Battle of Saratoga (1777) was a decisive win that convinced France to formally ally with America, strengthening the colonial cause. Finally, at Yorktown (1781), Washington’s forces, with French support, forced British General Cornwallis to surrender, effectively ending the war and securing American independence.
