Check Point Charlie, arguably the most famous border crossing in the world at one time. (http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x241/Alanp_photo/Military%20Misc/BerlinWallCheckpointCharlie.jpg) This is part of the Berlin Wall and border between East and West Berlin at Sebastianstrasse.

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x241/Alanp_photo/Military%20Misc/cancelcoldwarstateionFultonMO.jpg) This one notes the famous "Iron Curtain" speech given by Winston Churchill in Fulton, Missouri, in which his phrase was first used. A 'station' can be a small post office, not the main one of a city; these stations are given names, Cold War in this case. (http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x241/Alanp_photo/Military%20Misc/Cancelcommunismdies12291991.jpg) Communism in Russia dies and Merry Christmas! This cancel would have been especially made for the stamp expostion in Anahiem CA and was not used for general mail.

"Our Childrens' Futrue", ie. what our children/future generations face if the Cold War continues in its current situation. (dated c.1980s) (http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x241/Alanp_photo/Atomic%20and%20Nuclear/USPropagandaantinukemakelovenotwar.jpg) Well, they do look like something else. . .
