On June 6, 1994, the USPS issued a set of ten stamps commemorating the 50th Anniversary of ten different events of 1944 during WWII. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp commemorating Bastogne and Battle of the Bulge cancelled from the city of issue (USS Normandy - only the second time in USPS history that a ship has been selected as the city of issue) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features Allied troops, a map of the action, and Brigadier General Anthony C. McAuliffe, whose famous response to the German commander demanding his surrender was "Nuts!." The company that produced this cover has also written a brief commentary (which we've included) about Bastogne and Battle of the Bulge. Collectible, historic, this is a great piece of WWII - Atlantic Theater memorabilia.
Double matted in blue and white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
