Myanmar Post has issued commemorative stamps on three occasions to mark Armed Forces Day: the Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee, and Diamond Jubilee. The Golden Jubilee issue has not previously been recorded on this blog, and this post is intended to fill that gap.

| Issued Stamp |
On 27 March 1995, Myanmar Post released a stamp to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Armed Forces Day (originally known as Resistance Day). One million copies were printed by offset lithography at the Wazi Security Printing Works. The stamp measures 30 × 42 mm and is perforated 14.
Two colour shades have been recorded: a dark blue and a light blue. In addition, printing flaws are known, including examples showing extra blue lines on the design, as illustrated below.
An official first day cover (FDC) and an information leaflet describing the stamp were also issued by Myanmar Post.
