Type: cover

Country: USA

Date of use: 4 February 1995

Commemorative cover with special cancel, both honoring the United States Army as defenders, and especially those who fought at Iwo Jima. The cancel’s design is based on a photograph by Associated Press photojournalist JOE ROSENTHAL (1911 - 2006) "Raising the US flag on the island Iwo Jima, at the Mount Suribachi", taken on 23 February 1945. Joe Rosental was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for this iconic photograph in 1945.
