Since 1893, the U.S. Postal Service has been designing and issuing stamps to commemorate significant events, places and people in American history.
After protests
from Japanese government officials and intervention by President Clinton,
the Postal Service reluctantly rescinded a planned stamp commemorating
the swift conclusion of WWII through the use of atomic bombs. This is
the only commemorative stamp ever rescinded by the U.S. Postal Service.
Ironically, the announcement was made public by the White House on December
7, 1994, exactly 53 years to the day after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
First-Day-Cover with stamp commemorating the Allied victory over
Japan. There are 2 versions. One is unsigned and the second displays a
facsimile signature which is General Tibbets actual signature
performed by a signature machine using Gen. Tibbets roller ball pen.
