I would choose the Shield, Eagle and Flags. I would choose a more current version though, with a lot more color to it. You can NEVER go wrong with the American Bald Eagle and U.S. Flag!!!
Not just one stamp, but to represent the U.S. Postal Service, an entire series was issued in 1973 depicting "Postal People" I have 2 sets of first day of issue cancellations, and they are a prized posession.
