United States of America



Privudence : RHODE ISLAND  USA.

  A great  card has just arrived with two other cards  ..This is a " surprise"card and  is from the USA and shows a great view of The Pebtagon Building in in Arlington Virginia with Washington DC and The Washington Monument  standing in the background...  I worked  for some time very close by this building while  working on  (with many workers ) contructing a section of the Metro System to The National Airport. 
  This five sided giant nerve centre of The United States Defence Department is the largest office building in the world. This simple functional design of the building eliminates considerable walking distances from office to office.
    Thank you so much  Len for this great card and I beleive this also is my first card of the Pentagon Building..also great stamps.  thank you !!  So nie to reeive some cards these days as there are much fewer postal deliveries these days with very few postcards du to the International postal systems in slow or lockdown.
