UNITED STATES POST OFFICE on 11 August 1948 issued a 3-cent postage stamp "Saluting Young America". This commemorative stamp was part of a national observance of "Youth Month" (September 1–30, 1948). The design featured a young boy and girl walking together while carrying books, symbolising the importance of education and the future generation. The initiative was intended to honour young Americans and help combat juvenile delinquency. This deep blue stamp was first issued in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing issued approximately 77.8 million, using a Rotary Press.
