1985 Veterans Korea Plate Block of 4 22c Postage Stamps - MNH, OG - Sc# 2152

On July 26 1985 in Washington DC the USPS honored the American Veterans of the Korean War. The Korean U.N. "police action" began in June 1950 and 'ended' on July 27, 1953. It was never officially a declared war. Approximately 50,000 Americans lost their lives, more than 10,000 were wounded and more than 5.000 were captured or listed as missing in action. David Duncan's 1950 photo, on which the stamps was finally based, showed several dead soldiers along the battlefield's roadside, though they were later removed from the stamp design.

These are real USPS postage stamps that are accepted by the USA Postal Service as payment for mail posted in the USA however the total rates on the stamps posted must equal or exceed the current appropriate postal mailing rate or extra postage must be paid.

The stamp set shown in the picture is a stock photo and is likely not a picture of the exact stamp set you will receive in that it may differ in plate number and/or orientation. However the item you will receive will be similar including having a plate number (if one is present in the photos) and the same number of stamps. Stamps titled as MNH, OG will have no significant creases or unnatural gum disturbances unless otherwise noted.
