From an armored squad car near the American front in France, U.S. Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis, of the Inspector General’s department in Washington, centers his attention on a U.S. Army Signal Corps crew erecting telephone poles in the battle zone.” The stamp was designed by Richard Sheaff. Special design details: The colors of the stamp are intended to symbolize the olive drab of Army uniforms. First Day City: The stamp was dedicated in Washington, DC, Davis’s birthplace. The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Washington National Guard Armory, with the main speaker being Davis’s son, retired Air Force Lieutenant General Benjamin O. Davis Jr. Retired Army General Colin Powell (the first African-American to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) was also in attendance.
