Stamp Subject Commemoration Calendar
Over one thousand people have been featured on United States postage stamps, and honoring the anniversaries of their births and deaths is a rich source of ideas for cachetmakers. You could, for example, celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of polar explorer Matthew Alexander Henson, or the 25th anniversary of the death of author and cartoonist Dr. Seuss.
