We the undersigned are requesting the Citizen’s Stamp Advisory?Committee consider the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Awareness Gold Ribbon as a new U.S. Stamp design subject.
More than 12 million people are currently diagnosed with COPD. An additional 12 million likely have the disease and don't even know it.
The statistics surely prove that more must be done to bring COPD awareness to the public; through media exposure, community efforts’, the internet, educational publications, and simply by word of mouth. Educating lung disease individuals and their families is the key; in regards to living and coping with COPD on a daily basis and bringing us one step closer to reversing this breathless lung disease.
Spread COPD Awareness via US Postage Stamp
