USPS to Honor a Special Lady

The stamp, based partly on her official White House portrait, will be available nationwide in December.

To celebrate the centennial birth year of Lady Bird Johnson, the Postal Service will issue a commemorative Forever Stamp.
The stamp honoring Johnson — who was married to President Lyndon B. Johnson — will feature her official White House portrait, as well as the artwork of stamps originally issued in the 1960s to encourage planting flowers to beautify America.
“Lady Bird Johnson’s impact on society continues to be felt by many today,” said USPS Board of Governors Chairman Thurgood Marshall Jr. “Anyone who drives our nation’s highways today still benefits from her leadership in transforming the American landscape and helping to preserve its natural beauty. We’re pleased to honor her with this stamp.”
“During her lifetime, Lady Bird Johnson was recognized for many achievements related to her advocacy for the environment, including the passing of The Highway Beautification Act of 1965,” said PMG Pat Donahoe. “We’re pleased to join the celebration honoring what would be her 100-year birthday and also to continue to help further her important legacy of creating a more beautiful America.”
The Lady Bird Johnson stamps will be issued for sale nationwide this December.
