US Army - 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 U.S. Army - 22 soldiers, 47 Army civilians and 6 Army contractors - who died in the attack on the Pentagon. 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 a US soldier. Collectible, historic, this is a great piece of military and postal memorabilia to honor a soldier who is presently serving.
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 US Army in providing assistance in times of natural and man-made
disasters as well as protecting our country's freedom***
