A new series of postage stamps, dedicated to American Philhellenists is expected to circulate next April by the U.S. postal service. The decision was taken after an initiative of the “American Philhellenists Association, 1810-1840”. According to the president of the association, the new series of stamps will be dedicated to Americans who struggled and sacrificed themselves for Greece’s freedom. He also stated that the decision has already been approved and the stamps are expected to circulate on April 19th, the Day of Philhellenism and International Solidarity. The series includes the tomb of George Jarvis, the portrait of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, as well as the emblem of the “American Philhellenists Association, 1810-1840”.
