U. S. Post Office American troops who served in World War II

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE on 28 September 1945, in Washington, D.C. issued a 3 cent postage stamp to honour the American troops who served in World War II. 

The central design showed American troops from the 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment of the famous 28th Infantry Division, while the extreme right portion of the stamp illustrated the 1st Battalion, 110th Infantry Regiment of the same division marching through the streets of Paris toward the Arc de Triomphe during the city's liberation in August 1944. Six bombers are depicted flying overhead. While the stamp appears to show soldiers marching through the Arch, in reality, they were routed around it to respect the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of France. 

Nearly 500 million khaki-coloured stamps, in a nod to the U.S. Army,  were released by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
