New Forever Stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service pay tribute to Boston's unique role in the American Revolution. The designs were first issued last week at the Great American Stamp Show in Schaumburg, Ill. In addition to Boston history, the designs also anticipate the Boston 2026 World Stamp Show, which will be held in May.

The late President Jimmy Carter is being honored with a commemorative Forever stamp. It will be released Oct. 1. That would have been Carter's 101st birthday.

Jimmy Carter, who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, died on December 29, 2024, at age 100.
