The black-and-white cachet features a soldier in a military helmet in front of a waving American flag, with the Disabled American Veterans emblem showing military branch insignia (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines). Text reads 'Commemorating', 'U.S. Servicemen Concord to Vietnam', and 'Disabled American Veterans'. Two 6-cent United States stamps are affixed: one commemorating '50 years of service' for Disabled American Veterans with a colorful DAV emblem, and one 'Honoring U.S. Servicemen / Prisoners of War / Missing and Killed in Action'. The postmark is a circular hand cancel from Montgomery, AL dated November 24, 1970, with a 'First Day of Issue' machine cancel also visible.
Mistral
The cachet artwork features a black-and-white illustration of a soldier wearing a military helmet, with an American flag in the background. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) emblem is prominently displayed, incorporating insignia of the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines. The text 'U.S. Servicemen Concord to Vietnam' is printed below the soldier. Two commemorative stamps are affixed: one honoring 50 years of service by the Disabled American Veterans, and the other honoring U.S. servicemen, prisoners of war, and those missing and killed in action. The postmark is a circular cancellation from Montgomery, AL, dated November 24, 1970.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
