1968 was a tragic year in America with the Vietnam War at a fever pitch, riots, the murders of RFK and Martin Luther King Jr. Then, as if to signal a new era, the world paused in peace to marvel at mankinds conquest of space. The moon was now within reach. And thos of us of a certain age experienced this magical moment, which became one of the most collected stamps in history Earthrise, with quotations from Genesis by the Apollo 8 crew. Merry Christmas!
