The word adorns coffee cups and T-shirts, children's toys
and elegant jewelry. It is found at the end of personal
letters, in movie titles, and throughout many a popular
tune. It is the theme of countless television shows and
novels. It is, of course, love. And it carries with it the joy
of American life. From the “love" of good friends, to the
"love" of one's life, to the "love" for one's family, this
particular emotion plays an important role in achieving
happiness. With it, much else can be taken in stride.
Without it, sometimes all seems lost. Thus, love is a vital
part of culture – a goal worth striving for and, once
achieved, worth telling the world about. In 1988, the
United States Postal Service chose to commemorate this
heartwarming sentiment in three different postal issues,
all proclaiming and celebrating the wonderful joys of
“Love." The first-class stamp here honors the special
occasion of love. Included in the 1988 Special Occasions
Booklet, this “'Lovestamp bears a new design —a new
way to say, “I Love You."
