Set of 20 American Flag 24/7 stamps includes all varieties. 

 

The American flag, a symbol of our country's triumph over oppression and our dream of freedom, was honored on 2008 U.S. postage stamps. The set, titled "American Flag 24/7," shows the American flag at four different times of day - sunrise, noon, sunset, and night.

 

The coil stamps were produced by three printers: Sennett Security, Ashton-Potter, and Avery Dennison. This was the first time an American Flag definitive was not made in booklet or pane form.
