George H.W. Bush USPS 'forever' stamp to be issued June 12

The stamp, which will forever retain its USPS value, is being issued on what would've been President Bush's 95th birthday.

The U.S. Postal Service's "Forever" stamp honoring former President George H.W. Bush will be issued June 12 on the late 41st president's 95th birthday.

President Bush died last November at age 94.

The stamp art is a portrait of Bush painted by award-winning artist Michael J. Deas. It's based on a 1997 photograph taken by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

At 55 cents, the stamp will forever retain its USPS value, even if postage prices increase in the future.

Bush President Library and Museum director Warren Finch; Qatar-America Institute chairman Chase Untermeyer; and former Bush chief of staff Jean Becker.
