Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the way pinback buttons have been used for decades to send messages, decorate clothing, raise awareness, and more.
About the stamp design: Pictures a typographic design by artist Gina Triplett featuring the word “Happy.”
Special design details: The round shape of the stamp, along with its shadowing and reflection effects, gives it the illusion of being three-dimensional.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Great American Stamp Show in Hartford, Connecticut.
About the Pinback Buttons set: Includes 10 stamps with typographic designs by 10 different artists in their own styles, each with a single word as the main element of the design. Artists include: Don Clark (Smile), Tré Seals (Hello!), Jay Fletcher (Peace), Juan Carlos Pagan (Love), Gia Graham (Fun), Jeff Rogers (Sweet), Ryan Feerer (Yes!), Lisa Congdon (Cheers!), DKNG Studios (Kudos!), and Gina Triplett (Happy).
History the stamp represents: What was the happiest day in US history? For man, it was August 14, 1945, the day Japan surrendered, bringing an end to World War II. After a few premature announcements, President Harry Truman’s official declaration of Japan’s surrender sparked celebrations in every city and town across the country. Two million people gathered in New York City’s Times Square, while a million each turned out in Chicago and Philadelphia. Work was canceled for the rest of the day – no one could focus with the celebrations occurring in the streets.
People threw confetti and ticker tape. In the garment district, they unleashed a rainbow of colored fabrics. And one salon sprinkled the crowd with scented powder. Among the singing and shouting, people created as much noise as they could. From banging pots to ringing church bells and sounding air raid sirens, everyone joined in the noisemaking. People danced and formed impromptu parades through the streets while service members received free beer and wine. So overcome with joy and relief, strangers in the streets embraced each other.
Much like World War II itself, this was a day in which the country came together. But this time, it was a happy occasion, to celebrate the war’s end and the return home of our troops.
