Philosateleian Post issuing stamp celebrating USA’s 250th birthday

The United States of America turns 250 years old this year, and to celebrate the nation’s semiquincentennial, Texas-based Philosateleian Post is releasing a commemorative local post stamp. The stamp is scheduled to be issued July 1, 2026.

The 1-stamp stamp pictures the United States flag waving in the breeze along with the text “USA 1776–2026.” It will be the first Philosateleian Post stamp to depict a flag since the local post’s very first stamp, which was released in 2004.

“We are privileged to live in a nation that has freedom of speech and religion,” says Philosateleian Post proprietor Kevin Blackston. “I’m pleased to have Philosateleian Post join the celebration of the country’s 250th birthday.”
