EDITORS COMMENTS
This WW2 American postal cover envelope, dated 1944, celebrates the victory of the United States over the Japanese in the Marshall Islands. The envelope, adorned with a striking image of a rising sun eclipsed by the American flag, symbolizes the triumph of the Allied forces over their adversaries. The envelope was sent from Fairmont, West Virginia, and addressed to Greenport, New York. The handwritten address and the postmark from West Virginia add a personal touch to this historical artifact. The envelope's franking features a 3-cent stamp with the inscription "V-J Day," commemorating the victory in the Pacific theater of the war. The image of the rising sun, a symbol of Japan, is skillfully incorporated into the design, with its rays replaced by the stars and stripes of the American flag. This poignant representation of the Allied victory over Japan in the Pacific during the 1940s serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the American people during WW2. The envelope's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of WW2 memorabilia or ephemera. Its handwritten address and postmark add a personal touch, making it a unique and fascinating piece of American history.
