The Postal Service today will honor Ronald Reagan with the issuance of a commemorative Forever stamp in celebration of the centennial year of his birth. The stamp will be dedicated at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. It’s the third stamp that has honored Reagan. The first was issued in 2005.
The stamp is based on a photograph from 1985, during Reagan’s second term in office, taken at his home, Rancho del Cielo (Ranch in the Sky), near Santa Barbara, CA.
Reagan was an accomplished Hollywood actor who appeared in more than 50 films before becoming a prominent political leader. He often is credited with bolstering the conservative movement in America, moving it from the margins to the mainstream of politics and government.
