Stamps

As I understand, the "first day of issue" ceremony is at KP.
 
Yes it is: tomorrow at 11:30 AM at Ackerman on campus. Open to the public. All are welcome. I think more details may be on the USMMAAF website.
 
So DS shouldn't have a problem knowing where he can buy postage, yay! :shake:
 
Excellent. Glad to see this, and glad the First day ceremony will be at Kings Point. This is not the first US stamp dedicated to the US Merchant Marine. I have a framed 1st Day of Issue Cover on my wall from the 40's honoring the Merchant Marine. Cover even has a drawing of Kings Point as it appeared in the 40's. My only "problem" is that the post office has never issued a stamp honoring United States Merchant Marine Academy. I believe it is the only Academy to have never been honored with a stamp issue. I tried to take up this cause a few years ago, but got no where with any support for the project. Is it time to press forward once again?

Wish I could be there for the ceremony.
