Richard Nixon Stamps, GOP (Generation Of Peace), 1972

"GOP, Generation Of Peace, 1972. Thank you for your support."

 

A block of political campaign stamps given to supporters and potential donors by Richard Nixon during his run for a second term as U.S. president in 1972. "GOP" refers here to "Generation of Peace," a phrase that Nixon used in speeches about ending American involvement in the Vietnam War, but it also means "Grand Old Party," which, of course, is another name for the Republican Party.
