The U.S. Postal Service will issue a commemorative Forever stamp for former U.S. President and Georgia native Jimmy Carter, who passed away last year at the age of 100.
Representatives of the postal service, as well as members of the National Park Service and the Friends of Jimmy Carter organization, unveiled the designs Saturday at the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park in Plains. The stamp is scheduled to be released on Oct. 1, which would have been Carter’s 101st birthday.
“The Carter family and the Friends of Jimmy Carter are honored to be able to take part in revealing the design for President Carter’s Forever stamp. Together we’ve had the distinct privilege of a front row seat to his life and legacy, and today’s reveal gives the world an opportunity to share his legacy with others on a daily basis,” Kim Carter Fuller, executive director of the Friends of Jimmy Carter, said in the Saturday press release.
