The US Postal Service released a new Forever Stamp on June 11, honoring the 75th anniversary of the USS Missouri commissioning.
Built in the middle of World War II and in service intermittently until 1992, this iconic battleship was the site of the Instrument of Surrender, an agreement signed by the Allied and Axis powers thus ending World War II.

Designed by Greg Breeding, this Forever Stamp can be used to mail 1-ounce, First Class Letters within the U.S., regardless of the current postal rate.
