Join the petition drive for a U.S. Stamp of
THE BORINQUENEERS

According to the Postal Service guidelines, a suggested event, person(s), or theme must have a widespread national appeal and significance to be considered for commemoration as a U.S. stamp. As such, El Pozo Productions is organizing a nationwide petition campaign to request that The Borinqueneers of the 65th Infantry Regiment be considered for the issuance of a commemorative U.S. stamp honoring their unique military service as the only all-Hispanic unit in U.S. Army history. We think it is a fitting tribute for these brave soldiers. The selection of subjects for U.S. postage stamps and stationery is a difficult task, since only a limited number of new commemorative items can be issued annually. To help in this selection process, the Postmaster General established the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) 50 years ago.

Subjects should be submitted at least three years in advance of the proposed date of issue to allow sufficient time for consideration and for design and production, if the subject is approved. All eligible subjects are reviewed by the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee regardless of how they are submitted, i.e., stamped cards, letters or petitions.

If you want to help, download the Petition Form in PDF format at http://borinqueneers.com/files/Stamp_... and obtain as many signatures as you can. Return the original signed petitions by February 15, 2010 to:

El Pozo Productions
PO Box 302
Crompond, NY 10517

We will then forward the petitions to the Committee for their consideration. Let's get together to make this happen! Thank you!
