New Stamps for 2010

Some new stamp designs for the 2010 season. The first is for the winter olympics in Vancouver, Canada. Not figure skaters, or ski jumpers, hockey players OR even luge riders! but snow boarders! How amazing a choice. Does the USPS think it needs to appeal to a younger audience?

Another winter offering will be a commemor- ative quad of naval service men. I don't know the navy. I guess these are good choices.

I am, among other things a stamp collector, too. I have all commemorative stamps in mint condition from 1928 to the present and lots of others prior, as well as, most definatives, airmails, postage dues, etc. Our stamps are a reflection of our values as a nation in a way that little else can be said to be.
