Federated States of Micronesia "Resolution of Conflict" Mint Stamps

FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA POST -- Commemorative stamps marking the "Resolution of Conflict." Featured in the stamps is Le Duc Tho and Henry Kissinger who negotiated the US-North Vietnam Peace Treaty in Paris. 
 
I find it interesting these commemorative stamps were issued in Micronesia. I remember the history of the Vietnam War and this Peace Treaty. It was a big deal at the time. Fast forward, nearly 50 years, Vietnam is united as one country and US-Vietnam have established diplomatic ties and some military cooperation in the South China Sea.
