The United States Postal Service is releasing special stamps and a prestige booklet to celebrate 250 years of postal service in the nation. The agency's "250 Years of Delivering" Forever stamps and Putting a Stamp on the American Experience booklet will mark the milestone. The postal system in the U.S. began operations in 1775 and remains a vital federal institution, delivering mail to almost 169 million addresses nationwide. President Trump's proposed changes to the USPS, including replacing the postmaster general and potentially folding the agency into the Commerce Department, have raised concerns about political independence. The stamps feature artwork by cartoonist Chris Ware and pay tribute to Benjamin Franklin, America's first postmaster general.
