First Lady Melania Trump hosted a ceremony in the East Room of the White House to unveil a new U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring former First Lady Barbara Bush. The stamp features Barbara Bush’s official White House portrait and will go on sale June 10. The event commemorated Bush’s legacy, including her advocacy for literacy and her efforts to destigmatize AIDS and HIV. The ceremony was attended by members of the Bush family, including Dorothy "Doro" Bush Koch, Alice Gonzalez Yates, and Judy de Torok, vice president of corporate affairs at the U.S. Postal Service. Former President George W. Bush did not attend. Barbara Bush was the wife of President George H.W. Bush and died in 2018 at age 92. She is the eighth first lady to be honored with a U.S. postage stamp. Earlier in the day, Melania Trump also hosted a Celebration of Military Mothers event at the White House. These events are among the few public appearances Melania Trump has made since President Donald Trump took office 108 days ago. Reports indicate that Melania Trump has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House during this period, often residing at Trump Tower in New York or Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Melania Trump turned 55 on April 26 and has reportedly been filming a documentary about her life for Amazon.
