New Issues (was: Stop Family Violence stamp)
"Bob Ingraham" wrote in message ... The Purple Heart stamp is a standout, but then I've always liked the look of the medal. I will have to say I would rather not be the owner of one of them, however. Getting shot can ruin your whole day, not to mention the what it does to the years that follow. Here's an image of the medal (back and front) with the ribbon that goes with it: http://www.brocksguns.com/images/medals/22000038%20PURPLE%20HEART.jpg Agree with you on all of the above. The image of the medal and ribbon are indeed impressive. About the Stop Family Violence stamp: For my money, children and stamp designs should not be mentioned in the same breath. I've never seen a stamp with a child-created design that I liked, or that seemed very effective. Come to think of it, I can't think of any that I've really liked, either. I'm all for encouraging artistic talent---I certainly don't have it; I'm limited to stick figures and not very good ones at that---but I prefer to see the artistic creations on stamps that come after more practice, rather than the early versions. Now, if I had any kids, I'll have you know that *any* scrawl they made would put (fill in the name of any famous artist here) to shame! Mike |
