HEROES of 9/11 - The People of NYC.............
On June 7, 2002, the USPS issued a stamp
depicting the now famous photograph taken by Thomas E. Franklin of
firefighters William Eisengrein, George Johnson and Daniel McWilliams
as they raised the United States flag at Ground Zero. Shown here is a
genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from one of the cities of issue (New York City) on the first day of issue
captioned above. The other two cities of issue were Arlington, VA to
commemorate the Heroes of the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA to honor
the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93.
The black and white cachet features the
New York City skyline with the World Trade Center, an American flag is
in the background. Firemen and policemen are in the forefront. Shown
above the cachet are the words "Official First Day of Issue."
Double matted in blue and white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
