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 horific 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. Marines for their ongoing protection against terrorism. 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 U.S. Marine. Collectible, historic, this is a great piece of military and postal memorabilia to honor a marine 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 blurb on the role of the Marines***
