Four revered U.S. Navy icons were commemorated with a first-class salute with the dedication of the Distinguished Sailors collectable stamps.

Available nationwide starting this week, the 44-cent stamps immortalize four sailors who served with bravery and distinction during the 20th century: William S. Sims, Arleigh A. Burke, John McCloy and Doris “Dorie” Miller.
The dedication ceremony took place at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.
