It is the first postage stamp to depict individuals that are still living. I believe that at least one of the five people on the Iwo Jima flag raising stamp was still living when it was issued.

The postage stamp unveiled in the Oval Office of the
White House Monday, March, 11, 2002, uses the famous photo by Thomas E. Franklin of The Record showing New York firefighters, from left: George Johnson, Dan McWilliams and Billy Eisengrein, raising the American flag Sept. 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center terrorist attack site in New York.

I think a great number of these stamps will be purchased, but a smaller number will actually be used for mail...

I'm glad they didn't insist on re-touching the photo making them all minorities... (see N.Y. statue)

This is an awesome stamp. I agree that many will buy it for collections.
