Description:
On farm fields and town greens, along countryside byways and city lanes, the people of a new nation, some famous, others forever unknown, committed their lives to American independence. As we prepare to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we honor the battlefields where so many sacrificed to make our celebration possible.
This pane of 15 stamps includes five rows of three stamps each, with one row representing each of five battles. Each row features a photograph of a site associated with one of the battles. Spanning the adjacent two stamps in each row is a watercolor painting of a scene associated with that battle.
