Postal Service to consider stamp proposal for National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism
As a possible alternative to a stamp that directly honors the Japanese American World War II veterans, the USPS announced recently that it is considering a stamp to honor the National Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism in Washington D.C. The position of the campaign co-chairpersons Aiko King, Fusa Takahashi, Chizuko Ohira, and Wayne Osako is that while not being against such a stamp for the Memorial to Patrtiotism, it would not be acceptable as a replacement for a Japanese American World War II veterans stamp. The campaign chairpersons have requested that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) change its stance on the internal guideline blocking the proposal as it applies to the possible Japanese American WWII veterans stamp.
