New Forever Stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service pay tribute to Boston's unique role in the American Revolution. The designs were first issued last week at the Great American Stamp Show in Schaumburg, Ill. In addition to Boston history, the designs also anticipate the Boston 2026 World Stamp Show, which will be held in May.

The late President Jimmy Carter is being honored with a commemorative Forever stamp. It will be released Oct. 1. That would have been Carter's 101st birthday.

“The 18th stamp in the Distinguished Americans series honors humanitarian Elie Wiesel (1928-2016), a survivor of Nazi concentration camps whose dozens of works bore witness to the Holocaust and whose resilience and compassion continue to be a source of inspiration,” a description for the stamp on the USPS website reads.
