Stamps of State Pride

April 4 marked the release of Greetings From America stamps, a collaboration between the U.S. Postal Service and the Washington, D.C.-based Travel Industry Association of America (ww.tia.org). Designed as a marketing tool to encourage domestic travel, the stamps are reminiscent of the vintage vacation postcards in wide use prior to World War II. Other marketing tie-ins, such as customized merchandise featuring individual state stamps and logos, can be purchased online at www.greetingsfromamerica.com; stamps are available in bulk at www.usps.com/shop.
