Way back somewhere near the beginning of this thread you mentioned having a FDC of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. You can mount that piece proudly with your other nursing acquisitions because one of the four Marines on that stamp is actually a 2nd Class Navy Hospital Corpsman. |

Thanks James and Triggersmob so very much!
And thanks also to cgrotha , I did not know that the Iwo Jima
Flag Raising had a Navy Corpsman in it! How AWESOME!
Such awesome history and so proud to know that those men were so brave! I have watched numerous movies about the men involved in the Flag Raising at Iwo Jima--everyone should watch it!
Thanks!

Here are images of two Red Cross semi-postal stamps in a two-stamp set issued by France on December 22, 1950, Scott Nos. B255 & B256, Y&T Nos. 876 and 877. Both stamps were designed and engraved by Jules Piel. I had previously posted an image of the first one in stampgal's "Collecting by Engraver" thread, but I believe other SCFers would probably agree that this stamp is well worth a second look.  - nethryk Bust of Alexandre Brongniart (1770-1847) as a child, after the original artwork by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828).  L'Amour, after the original artwork by French Rococo sculptor Étienne Maurice Falconet (1716-1791).  |
