Postage Stamp Honoring Reagan Unveiled

POSTED: 5:47 pm EST November 9, 2004

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. -- Ronald Reagan's face will be coming to a letter near you early next year.

A postage stamp honoring the late president was unveiled Tuesday at his California library.

The 37-cent stamp shows a smiling, rosy-cheeked Reagan wearing a blue suit with a red-and-blue striped tie.

Nancy Reagan nodded and clapped vigorously as the stamp was unveiled in a ceremony, saying later it was the first time she had seen it.

The stamp will be released Feb. 9 -- three days after what would have been the former president's 94th birthday.
