George W. and Laura Bush Skip Barbara Bush Stamp Event

First Lady Melania Trump hosted a White House ceremony unveiling a U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring the late Barbara Bush, with the stamp set for release on June 10 to mark what would have been her 100th birthday. The event included speeches from Bush’s daughter, Dorothy 'Doro' Bush Koch, and highlighted Barbara Bush’s advocacy for literacy, women’s empowerment, AIDS awareness, and gay rights. Notably absent were former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, underscoring ongoing tensions between the Bush and Trump families. Melania Trump praised Barbara Bush’s influence as both a family matriarch and a national figure. The stamp is based on Barbara Bush’s official White House portrait. Barbara Bush, who died in 2018, was remembered for her strength, wit, and dedication to public service.
