Front Description
Released on 2 Nov 2001 (in time for Veterans Day), this patriotic pin features a Mickey-head icon themed after the US flag. Because of the huge wave for everything patriotic following the 9/11/01 attack, Disney had trouble keeping the pins in stock. 2 Nov 2001: "These two pins came out early in the day in limited numbers, but late this afternoon DTD had them for sale." 5 Nov 2001: "The Patriotic Mickey pins are being produced in an increased number to supply the need for them. For the time, a limit of two per person, both at park and via mail order, will be enforced until pins spend some time on the racks."
This pin listing is for the version with these measurements and the OPT 2001 logo on the back. There are separate listings for the other versions of this World Showcase pin. However, this design has been released (and scrapped) many times through the years, in other sizes and with different backstamps. There may be slight differences in the number of stripes and stars (real and not), so look closely at your pin. You may have to search the PinPics database to find your pin. Please carefully check the dimensions and back of your pin before cataloguing.
