Memo to NewsMax: The photo was never controversial.

For those of us late to the story, is there a photo of the stamp available?

OK, I did my homework. Here's the url for the stamp (photo) I can't make the link work to a photo in a post. Failed html kindergarten.

I only wish it was 34 cents instead of 45 cents. LINK

The scene of the three firemen raising the flag is probably the most appropriate. Good choice President Bush!

Here's another one.

President Bush personally selected a controversial photo of three white firefighters What a bigot. A real man would have created a new picture with a black man, a hispanic man, and a female....
To: Always Right
Uh. Where's the NAACLP to protest the unveiling of this racist Confederate stamp? Bwahahaha!!!
To: kattracks
Thank you President Bush for doing what is right and honoring the men who actually did that act.
To: VA Advogado
Well, the extra eleven cents is going to a 9-11 charity, isn't it? Though I hope someone makes sure that the money gets where it's supposed to go.

Don't fear. With the post office in charge it's sure to get where it's suppose to. :)
To: kattracks
Is it just me or is there a lack of controversy here? I guess because the firefighters are all white or is it because they are going to put living people on the stamp? (rhetorical of course)
To: kattracks;Cagey;SeeRushtoldU_so
To me, it would have been showing prejudice to have changed the men in the picture..... this is the real story, this is how it happened.... to show otherwise would be to pander to the very thing the jessejackson's of the world scream about...
