The Stars and Stripes Forever Stamp was carved on Sept. 11 2001 as a
nation watched our heroes in their finest hour. We grieve for the
lost and celebrate the greatness that helps us to pick up and move
on. This is nothing new in America. So In Coventry follow signs to
the Nathan Hale Homestead , South Street, home of our nations
earliest hero. Nathan a young school teacher gave his life for our
nation in the Revolutionary War. His family home ( a muesam open from
May 15- Oct15 ,1-5 daily) is site of our Stars and Stripes Letterbox.
Go To the Flag, flying proudly in the center lot. Take a bearing of
280 degrees. Look off in that direction to a Holy Grove. There in the
base of a hollow tree a memory to bravery lies in wait. Camoflage
your secret stamping activity by pretending to take photographs or
draw as so many folks stop by to do that here. Enjoy another
letterbox with a history lesson from the Leader of the Pack with help
from Lixo.
