The U.S. Heroes of 2001 stamp

The design depicts three firefighters raising the U.S. flag at the World Trade Center site. The additional amount above the postage component supported assistance for families of emergency personnel killed or permanently disabled in connection with the attacks. Sources: Smithsonian National Postal Museum and USPS Postal Bulletin.

How the international records were verified

The Kiribati, Bahamas and Nauru entries were checked in the Universal Postal Union-supported WADP Numbering System. WNS participation is not universal, so absence from that database does not prove that another postal administration never issued a related stamp.

Postal-use boundary

Foreign issues are not valid USPS postage. Current validity must be checked with the issuing administration. Denominations, current postal validity and collectible value are separate questions; this table does not establish rarity or resale value.
