<P> On February 25, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled on appeal that the memorial - sculptor Frank Gaylord was entitled to compensation for a 37 - cent postage stamp--which used an image of the sculpture--because he had not signed away his intellectual - property rights to the sculpture when it was erected . The appeals court rejected arguments that the photo was transformative . </P> <P> In 2002, amateur - photographer and retired Marine John Alli was paid $1,500 for the use of one of his photographs of the memorial on a snowy day for the stamp, which sold more than $17 million worth of stamps . In 2006, sculptor Frank Gaylord enlisted Fish & Richardson to make a claim that the Postal Service had violated his intellectual - property rights to the sculpture and therefore he should have been compensated . The Postal Service argued that Gaylord was not the sole sculptor (saying he had received advice from federal sources, who recommended that the uniforms appear more in the wind) and also that the sculpture was actually architecture . Gaylord won all of his arguments in the lower court except for one--the court ruled the photo was fair use and thus he was not entitled to compensation . Gaylord challenged the fair - use ruling and won the case on appeal . The case could now either be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, or damages could be assessed by the United States Court of Federal Claims . </P> <P> Gaylord had sought compensation of 10 percent of the sales . Gaylord's original commission was $775,000 . On April 22, 2011, the US Court of Federal Claims awarded Gaylord $5,000 . On appeal, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the order and remanded the case back to the US Court of Federal Claims . On September 20, 2013, the US Court of Federal Claims awarded Gaylord $684,844.94 in damages, including interest . </P> <P> Each July 27 is "National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day ." </P>
