Overseeing the nation’s commemorative stamp program is an honor and a privilege. We have recently issued a preview of our 2023 collection, and I couldn’t be prouder of the effort and the result. We have produced a collection that embraces the creativity and imagination of the American public, leveraging talented artists to provide designs that represent the very best of our nation.
There is a lot of love and hard work put into each commemorative stamp, and with more than 30 issues this year, we hope you will find one that truly touches your heart.
This year we honor and celebrate some amazing people who have left an indelible mark on our country. These include civil rights icons U.S. Rep John Lewis and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, literary luminaries Ernest J. Gaines and Toni Morrison, and internationally renowned pop-culture artist Roy Lichtenstein.
We also mark the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act with a beautiful collection of 20 stamps, and recognize the architectural beauty of railroad stations and bridges in two more collections. I could go on, as each new stamp holds its own significance, so please visit www.usps.com/shoptstamps to discover your favorite from our 2023 collection.
