The United Nations Charter was signed in June 1945. The United Nations organisation officially came in to existence in October 1945 when the Charter had been ratified.
The 1940s may have seen the birth of the UN, but it also saw a centenary of the State of Utah, commemorated by this stamp.

It depicts pioneers first entering the Valley of the Great Salt Lake and deciding ' This is the place."
The place to see other 'U' related stamps this week is Sunday-stamps-u.

This is the place is a powerful saying!
I wonder what it was like to travel distances in those covered wagons.
I imagine life in Utah in 1867 would not have been easy.
The UN helped make many others lives more bearable.
