Here are the 25 individuals presented in the United States Postal Service's "Figures of the American Revolution" stamp series that they rolled out today for the US Semiquincentennial.

While there are a few more figures I'd like to see here, I'm still pleased with the range of people presented!

Also yeah, I'm going to torment myself by tagging everyone
