The duo of mother and daughter are even the owners of a women’s soccer club, Angel City FC. The family is always upfront when it comes to promoting women and sports. Just like the USWNT, the Williams family has also made the whole nation proud.

And in order to honor the incredible women’s team, the US Postal Service has taken a brilliant initiative.

Incredible gesture for USWNT

Recently, the US Postal service announced that they’ll be issuing a dedicated stamp on the occasion of the upcoming SheBelieves Cup. Besides stamps, the USPS is also selling Field Notes notebooks, envelopes, and pins that feature the exact stamp design.

“This new Forever stamp celebrates women’s soccer in the United States,” said USPS read. “From youth leagues to the elite world champion U.S. National Team, millions of girls and women throughout the country participate in the fast-paced, competitive sport.”

The ladies are preparing for the annual SheBelieves Cup that was first played back in 2016. It is an invitational tournament held between four teams. England, France, and Germany have been the key teams that have been participating for three consecutive years. However, other nations are now also getting the invitation as of 2019.

Serena Williams’ husband reacts to heartwarming gesture

The stamp is so beautiful that it has even caught the eyes of Serena’s husband, Alexis. He also took his time to praise the heartwarming gesture. The 39-year-old re-tweeted the stamp with a caption, ‘beautiful’.

Not only Alexis, but it has also caught the eyes of many netizens, as it actually looks beautiful. The stamp has a female volleying a soccer ball, and on the left side, ‘Women’s soccer, forever/USA’ in a vertical font. It also has blue and red colors that represent the flag of the country.
