Every year since 1952, a stamp to mark Remembrance Day has been issued by the Philatelic Services.Each prime minister and defense minister has sent cards to the families of the fallen, along with the philatelic material, to express gratitude for their sacrifices.Sasi Shilo, chairman of the company’s directorate, said Thursday that stamps are part of the Israeli experience.“Such a stamp can be designed in a special way to signify the flowering and growth of the Jewish people together with the sadness and pain over those who are no longer with us.”Click for special Jpost features
