U.S. Postal Service Issues 2010 Olympic Winter Games Stamp
The U.S. Postal Service has issued a stamp featuring an illustration of a snowboarder to commemorate the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The stamp goes on sale today in Park City, UT, and in Post Offices across the United States. The XXI Olympic Winter Games will be held Feb. 12-28, 2010, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The U.S. Post Office says stamps featuring Olympic themes have been popular since the first modern Olympiad in 1896, when Greece issued 12 Olympic-themed commemorative stamps. Beginning in 1932, when the Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, CA, numerous U.S. stamps have honored the Games.
