CONGRATULATIONS!
First Day of Issue: April 20, 1987
First Issue Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Congratulations! Perhaps your red-letter day is a wedding
... the birth of a child ... a new job ... graduation!
All are worthy of hearty congratulations. When someone
we care about has something worthy of celebration, it's
nice to join in the fun, and share the triumph and joy.
Whenever good things happen to people we love, it's
important to remember them, just as we do when times
are difficult. Congratulations can be offered in many
ways: a firm handshake from a business associate, a pat
on the back from a coach, a gentle kiss on the cheek
from grandma, even a great, big bear hug from a long
unseen uncle! Always met with a smile, a laugh, perhaps
a happy tear, this is one of the best of all sentiments to
share. The 1987 Messages booklet, a ten stamp issue,
includes two “Congratulations!" stamps. The horizon-
tally-oriented stamps feature colorful fireworks against a
night sky. Just above the fireworks, the appropriate “Con-
gratulations!" message appears.
