Purple Heart Stamp Act of 2001

H.R. 2919, the Purple Heart Stamp Act of 2001, would direct the U.S. Postal Service to create a special "semipostal" stamp to honor recipients of the Purple Heart. This stamp would be sold at a price slightly higher than the standard first-class rate, allowing citizens to voluntarily contribute to veterans' causes through their postage purchases. The additional funds collected from these sales would be used to support programs and services provided by the Military Order of the Purple Heart for wounded veterans and their families.
