George H.W. Bush Stamps
Forever 78¢ | Sheet Stamp Format

In 2019, the U.S. Postal Service® issued a stamp to honor President George H.W. Bush, who died on November 30, 2018. During his term in office, he guided the U.S. and its allies to a peaceful end of the Cold War, helped reunify Germany, and led a multinational coalition that successfully forced Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait during the Persian Gulf War. On the domestic front, Mr. Bush signed historic legislation to integrate Americans with disabilities more fully into society. His Clean Air Act tightened air pollution standards and reduced urban smog and acid rain. He inspired millions of Americans to serve their communities with his vision of “a thousand points of light.”

The stamp art is a portrait of Bush painted by award-winning artist Michael J. Deas. It is based on a 1997 photograph taken by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

The George H.W. Bush stamp was issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
