Offended by postage stamp

I just received an e-mail from a friend with an attachment that showed a newly issued U.S. postage stamp - the EID stamp - that is in circulation. As a retired letter carrier, the parent of two military retirees and the grandfather of a current member of the military, I am very offended at this stamp that recognizes two Muslim holidays.
 
These are the same people who are killing and wounding our servicemen and women, the ones who are terrorizing our country and the ones who are trying to stuff their beliefs down our throats in the name of religion!
 
I think that the current and former employees of the U.S. Postal Service should boycott this stamp by not purchasing this stamp, and everyone should bombard their elected officials in Washington to remove this slap in the face from circulation.
 
Come on people of Yuma, let's to do something about this!
