New stamps

I enjoy new stamps - pretty ones, fun ones, cute ones, different ones.  It's difficult to find an adjective to accompany the stamps I most recently acquired.  They're not overly pretty.  They're not fun or cute.  Can stamps be powerful?  Maybe that's the only word I can come up with at the moment.  They cause you to stop and think perhaps as you use them.

It comes in a little pamphlet-like thing.
There are two stamps in the middle.
Surrounding them are twelve of the 464 WWII veterans who were recipients of the Medal of Honor for services rendered "above and beyond the call of duty" in that war.  

The inside of the pamphlet
The far side of the left page is enlarged below.  The part that is not enlarged contains the names of all the men who received the Medal of Honor in WWII.
