Ronald Reagan Commemorative Stamps Part III of III

The conclusion to the series on President Reagan...

America's 40th President was known for his unwavering patriotism, great moral character, and devotion to his family. He fought to put an end to communism in the Soviet Union. He was well respected by not only American's, but by other countries. Ronald Reagan is regarded by a 2005 Gallop Poll as being the most favorite president among American's.

This commemorative stamp began circulating on February 9, 2005; three days after what would have been the President's 94th birthday. Traditionally, the US Postal Service does not honor prominent American's with a stamp until at least 10 years after their death. US President's are the exception to the rule. Their stamps may only be released after their next birthday following their death. Several other countries have also made commemorative stamps of President Reagan (Belize, Grenada, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, and Antigua, to name a few). The stamp was first issued at the 37 cent rate and then reissued in 2006 at the 39 cent rate.

If you are interested in buying these stamps, at either the 37 cent or the 39 cent rate, or other Ronald Reagan stamps, visit http://www.stampcenter.com/. Having a stamp issued and then reissued in Reagan's honor is an appropriate tribute to this great American hero, as he is known to have mailed over 10,000 letters in his lifetime!
