The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley hosted a dedication ceremony for the Nancy Reagan Forever stamp, honoring the former first lady on what would have been her 101st birthday, on Wednesday, July 6.
Officials from the U.S. Postal Service were on site, selling and canceling the stamps.
“As did the five First Ladies before her that were memorialized on a stamp, Nancy Reagan helped define the role of Presidential spouse for her successors,” said her son-in-law, Dennis C. Revell. “It’s fitting that this fiercely vigilant and politically astute First Lady, who left her stamp on one of the most consequential presidencies of the 20th Century, should now be celebrated and commemorated on a forever stamp of her own!”
“I’m pleased to represent the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute Board of Trustees at Mrs. Reagan’s Forever Stamp First Day of Issue Program,” said former Gov. Pete Wilson. “To honor her in this way on what would have been her 101st birthday is a way for Americans to remember her lasting legacy of service.”
Nancy Reagan’s centennial stamp was unveiled earlier this month at an event hosted by First Lady Dr. Jill Biden at the White House. Dr. Biden unveiled the artwork alongside Nancy Reagan’s niece Anne Petersen, Ronald Reagan Foundation and Institute Chairman Frederick Ryan, Jr., and Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer Louis DeJoy.
“Through our stamp program, the Postal Service seeks to commemorate and celebrate the very best of America, and Nancy Reagan truly represents that ideal,” DeJoy said last month.
