STEIN FF 1065
Ship Name and Designation History
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.
Keel Laid June 1 1970 - Launched December 19 1970 |
  |
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

Postmarks
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

NAMESAKE - Corporal Tony Stein, USMCR (September 30 1921 - March 1 1945)
Stein enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on September 22 1942. For conspicuous gallantry in repeated singlehanded assaults against the enemy and outstanding valor in aiding wounded Marines during the initial assault on Iwo Jima on February 19 1945, Cpl Stein earned the Medal of Honor. Cpl Stein was the first Marine (out of twenty-two Marines) to receive the Medal of Honor for action in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Less than two weeks after the action in which he earned the Nation's highest award for valor, on March 1 1945, he died in combat during a mission in which he and a group of fellow Marines had volunteered to locate some enemy machine gun emplacements which were holding up the advance of his entire company. Cpl Stein was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division when he was killed.
Corporal Stein's Medal of Honor and citation were presented to his widow on February 19 1946 during a ceremony in the office of Governor Frank Lausche of Ohio.
