Sunday Stamps - Peace



Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is peace.

You can find links to all the Sunday Stamps participants here.

Bonus link: perhaps you'd like to read about the Atoms for Peace stamp over at USPS Stamps.

    The atoms for peace is fascinating when thinking this was a period when politicians were generally warning about being blown up by atom bombs.

    I like the image on the first stamp. I think this will always be a struggle.

      I agree - the UN has not lived up to its potential in this area.

    The concept of World Peace through Law intrigues me. I'm not sure I think of lawyers very often as peace makers. I like the design of the stamp, however.

      I think that many politicians, most of whom are lawyers, do try. A pity they don't all try.
