EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) - 9/11.... On
June 7, 2002, the USPS issued a stamp to honor the men and women who
both gave their lives and those who helped save lives during horrific
events of September 11, 2001. The company of Fleetwood produced 10
special covers or envelopes honoring 10 different professions that
played such a crucial role. One of these was the EMT -
10 EMT's and Paramedics, selflessly placed themselves in danger, only
to lose their lives in the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover,
an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from one of the three cities
of issue (New York City) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features an EMT in front of a US flag.
Collectible, historic, this is a great piece of medical and postal
memorabilia to honor all 'first responders' who save lives every day.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate
of Authenticity Included as well as a Short Commentary on the role of
the EMT - from the Napoleonic era to present***
