Paul? Do you mean San Juan, Puerto Rico, or San Juan Hill in Cuba?
I would prefer Puerto Rico!

LOL Well, I WAS referring to San Juan Hill... but I'll settle for Puerto Rico if there is some nice rum and a beautiful Spanish lady waiting for me!

I ran across this '1st Day Cover' today, while looking for something else in a cupboard.

Re: "Remember the Maine"!!!!
Would issuance of such a first day cover be permitted in 2016?
