This month, the United States Postal Service (USPS) released a new commemorative “Healing PTSD” stamp to help veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The proceeds will be donated to the National Center for PTSD and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
According to an article published by the MilitaryTimes, “The image on the stamp, created by Mark Laita and Greg Breeding, features a sprouting green plant surrounded by withered leaves, a design meant to elicit feelings of growth, healing, and hope, the release said.
The vice-chairman of the Postal Service’s Board of Governors, David C. Williams, said “The Postal Service is honored to issue this semipostal stamp as a powerful symbol of the healing process, growth, and hope for tens of millions of Americans who experience PTSD…Today, with the issuance of this stamp, the nation renews its commitment to raise funds to help treat soldiers, veterans, first responders, health care providers and other individuals dealing with this condition.”
