National Park Service Forever Stamps June 2016

On June 02 the National Park Service Forever stamps are to be issued in a pane of sixteen by the U.S.Postal Service.

The article shares that the June 2 event will be in New York City as part of the World Stamp Show NY – 2016.  “Dedication ceremonies also will take place at or near each of the national parks depicted on the stamps. “

The U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of National Park Service on August 25, 2016.  

From the U.S.P.S. Announcement:

“The U.S. Postal Service will begin celebrating the National Park Service’s Aug. 25 centennial just in time for summer vacation letter writing by issuing a pane of stunning Forever stamps depicting 16 examples of our national treasures on June 2.
“To create buzz and excitement among national park fans, each stamp will be previewed alphabetically over the next three weeks, beginning Monday, April 4.”

Thank you for joining me today. Here’s to making the time today to write a good long letter and getting it into the mail on Monday!
