A tribute to three of our nation’s greatest hero’s—and an homage to all others who valiantly battled the Axis powers during the Second World War—is featured in this FDC that, amazingly, boasts a still-pristine cachet. This impressive aspect of the rare memento proclaims: “HONORING THE ACHIEVEMENTS – of the – UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS – in the – PRESENT WORLD WAR.” Nicely signed by three of the flag raisers, “Cpl. Rene A. Gagnon” (fountain pen), “Ira H. Hayes” (fountain pen), and “John H. Bradley” (ballpoint) who added “Ph m/c, Iwo Jima Flag Raiser (Survivor).” In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
