Later in the day, the Bush Library and Museum will celebrate the birthdays of President Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush with a birthday celebration.

The first-day-of-issue event for the stamp is free and open to the public. The event will take place at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Dedication ceremony attendees are encouraged to RSVP online.

Bush Birthday Tribute festivities run from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will include birthday cake, Blue Bell Ice Cream, popcorn and Pepsi products.
