This 2-cent black and red commemorative stamp was issued by the United States in 1931 to honor the 50th anniversary of the American Red Cross (1881–1931). The design features a Red Cross nurse seated beside a globe, symbolizing the organization’s worldwide humanitarian mission. A bold red cross dominates the upper left corner, standing as the universal emblem of aid and relief. This issue reflects America’s recognition of the Red Cross’ service during times of war and peace. A highly desirable item for thematic collectors of medical history, charity, and humanitarian issues.
