Trump revealed the new stamp during an event in the White House’s East Room alongside members of the Bush family. Attendees included Alice Yates, CEO of the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, and Bush’s daughter, Doro.
Doro delivered an address honoring her late mother, who died in 2018 at the age of 92.
“Barbara Bush, known to many as Mom, Gammy, Silver Fox, or most famously in our family, the Enforcer, will forever be remembered for her strength, abounding love for family, quick wit, and deep commitment to literacy,” she began.
“At just 16 years old, Mom met the only man she would ever kiss,” she continued until she had to choke back tears.
“I watched Susan Ford and I saw her burst into tears when her mother&#8217;s stamp was unveiled. I said, ‘I&#8217;m not gonna do that,”’ Doro added, regaining her composure.
“OK, the only man she would ever kiss at a school dance. Two years later, she was engaged to George H.W. Bush, beginning a partnership that would span decades and help shape history,” she said.
The Barbara Bush stamp is based on a 2005 White House portrait and will be sold in panes of 20, according to the <a href="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2025/0508-usps-unveils-barbara-bush-stamp.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Postal Service</a>.
One notable absentee from the ceremony was Bush’s son, former President George W. Bush. The former president has long kept a distance from the Trumps amid reports of the former president’s dislike of President Donald Trump.
Barbara Bush was born in 1925. She met her future husband, former President George H.W. Bush, at a Christmas dance in Connecticut. The two were engaged 18 months later. They had six children: George W. in 1946; Robin, who died of leukemia at age 3, in 1949; Jeb in 1953, Neil in 1955, Marvin in 1956, and Dorothy, known as Doro, in 1959.
Barbara loyally followed her husband through his many career changes before serving as the first lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993. In addition to her love for family, she was known for her tough attitude, witty comebacks, and her dogs.
