USA FIRST DAY COVER : PASS HR 1918!
This fascinating First
Day Cover from August 26, 1985, does more than just commemorate a stamp. It’s a
poignant call to action by the Veterans of World War I of the U.S.A., Inc.,
featuring the 22-cent "Veterans World War I" stamp. The cachet vividly
portrays a "Doughboy" with the powerful plea: "YOU NEEDED HIM
THEN – HE NEEDS YOU NOW."
The urgent purple text,
"PASS HR 1918!", directly advocated for House Resolution 1918. This
legislation aimed to secure crucial service-connected pensions for WWI veterans
and their surviving spouses, highlighting the ongoing needs of those who served
in the Great War, decades after the armistice.

FIRST DAY COVER : BORIS SCHATZ & "THE SCRIBE," (ISRAEL)
Though Boris Schatz
passed away in 1932, his striking blue signature anchors this 1972 Israeli
First Day Cover. This is a facsimile autograph, a printed tribute to the
"Father of Israeli Art" and founder of the Bezalel Academy.
Paired with a stamp featuring his sculpture "The Scribe," the mark acts as a design seal, bridging the gap between Schatz’s 1906 arrival in Jerusalem and his enduring legacy. For collectors, this cover transforms a standard mailing into a timeless monument to the man who shaped Israel’s cultural identity.
