Description: FRAMED VIETNAM WALL GENUINE UNUSED U.S. POSTAGE STAMP & FIRST DAY COVER This U.S. postage stamp was issued on November 10,1984 in Washington, D.C. The design of the memorial was open to competition. Some 1,421 designs were submitted and then reviewed by a selection committee. Yale undergraduate Maya Lin won the competition. The Ohio-born student’s design featured an over 493-footlong V-shaped reflective black granite wall. Its two ends point to the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. At first, many opposed the design because it was unconventional, black, and lacked ornamentation. Eventually, they reached a compromise, agreeing to add a bronze statue of American soldiers on one side.Construction on the memorial began on March 26, 1982. The stone for the memorial came from India and was specifically selected for its highly reflective surface. The stone cutting was done in Vermont and the 57,939 names were etched in Tennessee. They used a sandblasting process to etch the names on the stone. The third picture shows a closeup of the stamp and the fourth shows the First day cover. It is matted in black in a small gold wood frame (approximate size is 3 1/4 inches X 4 1/4 inches). Frame has easel. This is a perfect gift for anyone who has an interest in the Vietnam War. The Stamp is UNUSED U.S. POSTAGE STAMP. FREE Shipping For other interesting inexpensive memorabilia,(items make great gifts) please visit our e-bay store by clicking on: Visit store: TECHLINK
