Issue Date: July 11, 1945

When this stamp was first proposed, some people protested because it was planned to be printed in purple and because it would picture living people - a violation of postal regulations. At the time, purple was the designated color for the 3¢ first-class letter rate, but postal authorities changed the color to Marine green. The USPS answered the other concern replying that the stamp didn't honor specific individuals, rather it honored the fighting spirit of the Marines on Iwo Jima. Despite these early objections, the stamp went on to become the most popular US commemorative at that time. The stamp recreated the iconic Joe Rosenthal photograph of six Marines raising the flag over Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945. The photo would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for Photography and is considered one of the most recognizable images from the war.
