Two decades after Victor Herbert’s death, he was still so well regarded that he was commemorated in various ways. In 1940 the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative three-cent Victor Herbert postage stamp as part of its Famous Americans Series, which featured authors, poets, educators, scientists, composers, artists, and inventors. The other composers in the series included Stephen Foster and John Philip Sousa. A World War II “Liberty Ship,” built to move men and materiel quickly to the front, was also named in honor of Herbert.
