Thank you sabertooth - I stand corrected.

The following from the USPS website:
Funds raised in connection with sales of the stamp, net of the Postal Service's reasonable costs, are to be transferred to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The stamp is expected to be available in post offices nationwide starting in late spring.

Outstanding news! That picture deserves special recogmiton IMHO, far removed from PC BS and any revisionism.
The petition regarding keeping officials in the City of New York from doing so proves that there are many many of our fellow citizens who feel the same.
To: OldFriend
"Read the other day that the Post Office officials were grumbling about the choice as they prefer not to have stamps with living people honored! Wouldn't surprise me in the least at their dismay at this particular stamp. They have refused to have a stamp honoring the Purple Heart so we know exactly where they are coming from"
I don't think it's about the three living firefighters. It's the flag and all the dead that are under their feet that are being honored.
To: Sabertooth
Good catch !

There are still a few alive now. They were on TV in a special not too long ago. There is even some that say one of the ones there wasn't really there ?

"Nope. And kudos to President Bush for his thumbs down on Political Correctness!!!"Double that!!! Kudos from me, too, Mr. President!

Well, I guess none of you are sensitive enough to the Spotted damned owl who should have been put on the top of the pole and the snail darter, where the hell is the snail darter. And someone with psoriasis. And someone with the pain of periodontal disease, maybe toothless, but not a white hillbilly who is toothless, maybe a Native American, but that might indicate we think Native Americans are toothless.

"What a bigot. A real man would have created a new picture with a black man, a hispanic man, and a female....You forgot the handicapped guy in the wheelchair.

I thought you'd be interested.... besides, who can- and how could anyone- argue against an actual photograph of the event? That is a permanent record of what actually happened as it happened. Real-life, real time.

Seems there is absolutely nothing this President can do to please the left.
To: OldFriend
Cartoon and other fictional characters are fine though. Is it just us, or is the rest of the world nuts?
To: Sabertooth
President Bush personally selected a controversial photo There is nothing controversial about it, except what the Liberals want to make of it.
To: Sabertooth
Thanks for the heads up!
To: kattracks
"And the president, I think, picked this one. He picked the actual photograph - which is unusual, because we don't put live people on stamps," Ackerman said.
That's because they prefer to alter the images to fit in with politically correct sensibilities, such as famous images that have had cigarettes erased from the hands of smokers.
