This is a First Day Issue honoring the Philippine WAR HEROES with caption: THEY SERVED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE. This first day cover is designed to honor the American-equipped and led Filipino veterans who fought and either lost their lives or became disabled in the service of their country against the Japanese forces that defeated the U.S. & Philippine Armies at Bataan & Corregidor. The 6 centavo violet stamp features a bomb bursting among infantry, just above the medal. Note how adeptly the artist of the 1 centavo red stamp conveys with a wisp of mist the thought that the departed soldier still lives in the memory of the wife he had to leave alone. 5-color printed cachet shows a rugges infantry-man in mortal combat to protect his mother, his wife and their chidren.
