USPS Honors Barbara Bush With Forever Stamp

The U.S. Postal Service has released a commemorative Forever stamp honoring former First Lady Barbara Bush, featuring her official White House portrait by artist Chas Fagan. The dedication ceremony was held in Kennebunkport, Maine, coinciding with what would have been her 100th birthday and attended by the Bush family and USPS officials. The event highlighted Barbara Bush's advocacy for literacy, children's causes, and compassion, with speakers emphasizing her belief in reading and personal connections. Barbara Bush is now the eighth first lady to appear on a U.S. stamp, joining notable figures such as Nancy Reagan and Betty Ford. The stamp is available for purchase in panes of 20. It serves as both a tribute to her humanitarian work and a reminder of the values she championed.
