A stamp honoring former First Lady Barbara Bush will be issued this year, reports The Hill news outlet and cited by Linn’s Stamp News. The stamp design will be unveiled Thursday, May 8, at the White House by current First Lady Melania Trump, much as the 2022 Nancy Reagan stamp design was unveiled by then-First Lady Jill Biden.
No date for the Bush stamp has been reported. She was born on June 8, 1925, and June 8, 2025, would be a logical first-day date. However, that is a Sunday.
Mrs. Bush’s daughter Doro Bush Koch is expected to attend, but not any of her sons, including former president George W. Bush. The Bush family and President Trump have not gotten along over the years.
Barbara Bush is only the second woman to have been both the wife of a U.S. President and the mother of one. The first was Abigail Adams.
