With the US Air Force having its 71 years birthday today, we are looking at the USAF Thank You Notecard Stationery Pack.

First, it was surprising to not find any kind of pictorial postmark for a philatelic tie in with today’s date.

“The United States Air Force is celebrating its 71st year today.

Thank you for joining me today. Before wrapping up, if you haven’t read my blog in a few days, be sure to read my post from Saturday, “With Gratitude and Thanks” (9-15-2018). Today was an amazing day experiencing more than once the kindness of strangers. I’m already composing in my head the thank you letters and notes to send.

I’m closing with Happy Birthday United States Air Force!
