Earlier this year, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., introduced a bill in Congress to create the Purple Heart Forever stamp, eliminating the need to keep reissuing such stamps with specific postage rates. As long as the U.S. Postal Service must decide whether to reissue the stamp, it may eventually be retired from circulation.
The Perpetual Purple Heart Stamp Act sought to create a stamp that would forever honor U.S. servicemembers killed or wounded in combat. The American Legion endorsed the legislation.
