When a black man, a hispanic man, and a female do something as symbolic as these three did - he will.

We are portraying history not changing history. This was done through no planning, captured by a photographer and it captured the whole content of what happened. To change or alter this actual moment in time - takes away the wonder of the incidence and its capture on film.

Amid total destruction, our firemen find a flag and raise it. This represents to the world that we are not destroyed and it shows the calibre of the American people who amid horror take the step to raise the American flag.

If you can't see the significance of the moment and the power - you are blinded by racism.

Shouldn't there be a Muslim-American on the stamp also.

But it seems to me they did doctor the picture...I think the fireman on the left was a bit paunchier in the real photo.
