Postal Service honors Coast Guard with forever stamp

The U.S. Postal Service is giving a special salute to the United States Coast Guard.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The U.S. Postal Service is giving a special salute to the United States Coast Guard.

The U.S. Postal Service is dedicating a forever stamp in thanks for protecting the security of our nation and advancing maritime interests.

Be sure to scoop them up if you see them, because they are selling fast.

"I'm going to stock up. I'm glad they're selling them here on base today. I tried to buy them a couple times this week and I wasn't able to find them at any of the post offices," said Commander Jonathan Spanner, USCG Sector San Diego. 

The stamp shows two icons of the Coast Guard -- The Cutter Eagle, known as America's tall ship, and a MH- 65 Dolphin Helicopter, the standard rescue craft of the coast guard.
