Debt[edit]

Since these stamps were considered part of the US debt(at the no interest bearing category) were they redeemable back to money?(http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/noll.publicdebt)

I recently created a new article for Series E Bonds, which may or may not be what the creators of this article were trying to describe. I do know that this article refers to an effort in the U.S., but also refers to "Girl Guides", when the term used in the U.S. is "Girl Scouts". Also, the "every scout save a soldier" slogan was more WW1, wasn't it?

Pictures?[edit]

Pictures of the stamps themselves may be of interest. Also, those offered by the historic peace churches would be helpful too. Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 03:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Stamps?[edit]

I believe Canada had a similar program. Thoughts on a Canadian section? Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 17:17, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Joan of Arc WWI lithograph2.jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Joan of Arc WWI lithograph2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 25, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-05-25. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 16:37, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

A 1918 poster urging the reader to purchase war savings stamps, a series of savings stamps issued by the United States Treasury to help fund participation in World War I. The stamps were available in ten cent and twenty-five cent versions, and provided interest. In some cases collections of stamps could be redeemed for war bonds. The caption reads, "Joan of Arc saved France. Women of America, save your country. Buy war savings stamps."Artist: Haskell Coffin; Restoration: Lise Broer
