Cruz applauds U.S. stamp featuring Puerto Rico's flag
HARRISBURG, Aug. 23 – State Rep. Angel Cruz, D-Phila., is applauding the Unites States Postal Service, the Postmaster General and the federal government for their recognition of Puerto Rico on a new U.S. stamp.
"This stamp serves to honor and recognize Puerto Rico for its many contributions to our country, and as one of the oldest territories in the United States," Cruz said.
The new stamp features the Puerto Rican flag and the San Pedrito bird with the island's mountain as the back drop. Other stamp flags were also introduced this week.
These new stamps are part of the "Forever Stamps" series which can still be used on a first-class letter even after postal rates increase.
