Melania Trump to Unveil Barbara Bush Stamp at White House

First Lady Melania Trump is scheduled to unveil a new U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring former First Lady Barbara Bush on May 8, 2025, at a White House ceremony. The event will be attended by members of the Bush family, including Barbara's daughter Doro Bush Koch, and officials such as Acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino, though former President George W. Bush is not expected to attend. Barbara Bush, who served as First Lady from 1989 to 1993, was remembered by Melania Trump as a "woman of strength" who prioritized family and country, and championed literacy initiatives. Despite the Bush family's contentious relationship with President Donald Trump, and Barbara Bush's reportedly critical views of him, the ceremony aims to honor her legacy and uphold the tradition of commemorating former First Ladies with postage stamps. The stamp unveiling follows similar recent USPS honors for First Ladies Nancy Reagan and Betty Ford. The ceremony will be broadcast on C-SPAN from the East Room of the White House.
