D-DAY: Signed First Day of Issue cover by both Wallace Strobel (1922-1999) and Bill Hayes (1918-2006) individually, being two of the American paratroopers of 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment with the 101st Airborne Division who participated in the Normandy Landings on D-Day, 6th June 1944. The attractive cover commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 'Road to Victory' in 1944 during World War II, and features an image of one of the most iconic photographs of the war in which Dwight D. Eisenhower is engaged in conversation with various paratroopers, including Strobel and Hayes, on the eve of the largest seaborne invasion in history and at which Eisenhower issued the order of the day, 'Full victory - nothing else'. Signed by Strobel and Hayes in bold black inks to clear areas of the cover, both adding their regiments and division in their hands beneath their signatures. Postmarked on 6th June 1944. About EX
