Thanks Can for this very very beautiful Signed Real Posted FDC. Its my first Signed Real Posted FDC. Thanks to Can's effort, the FDC was signed by Mrs. Vu Kim Lien, the designer of the FDC. However, its sad that the stamp's edge was folded. This is normally due to improper handling by the post authorities. I'm really sad when all this happens but I guess at times, no one is to be blamed... thats life....

On the 19th of May 2009, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) specially issued the FDC on "50th Anniversary of the opening of Ho Chi Minh Trail - Traditional Day of Truong Son soldiers (19/5/1959 - 19/5/2009)" consisting of 01 value of 2,000d. On the stamp is the image of Truong Son Soldiers with their cheerful look on the front line of anti-US resistance war. Inspite of their lives on the firing-line, they still keep their way all day & night to take the trucks to the front of the affected South.

as it's a REAL posted FDC, a slight imperfection in the stamp adds to it's value, shows it's travelled.
