Austria's Arnold Stamp

[Rose Siding]

VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can expect a €1 ($1.25) birthday gift from the postal service in his home country.
...
Originally from the village of Thal, Schwarzenegger made his first visit to Austria as California governor last weekend, when he represented the United States at the state funeral of President Thomas Klestil.

Schwarzenegger also met privately with Simon Wiesenthal, the Austrian Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter. The Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal center, which has an office in Vienna, helped Schwarzenegger research his father's past as a Nazi storm trooper.

Schwarzenegger remains hugely popular in his home country, and a sports stadium in the southern city of Graz -- near his birth village -- has been named after him.
