The U.S. Postal Service today dedicated the Eid Greetings Forever Stamp recognizing the two most important festivals — or eids — in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The ceremony was held at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn.

In addition, a special Eid Greetings stamp ceremony will be held Monday, June 13, at 11 a.m. EDT at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, KY.

The Postal Service has issued stamps to commemorate these two Islamic holidays since 2001.

Bray was joined at the stamp dedication by Barbara McQuade, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan; Sam Salamey, chief judge, Dearborn’s 19th District Court in Michigan; Albert Harp, retired educator and emeritus trustee, Islamic Center of America; Samie Rehman, manager, Revenue and Forecasting, Postal Service; Fouad Khalil, communication specialist, Information Technology, Postal Service; and Zena Elayan, student, Chamberlain College.

The ceremony also included performances by the Muslim American Youth Academy (MAYA) Students, Islamic Center of America; and the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 1139.

I didn't know that before you mentioned it, but it turns out they did release one on August 1, 2001:

They should add a “Joyous 9/11” stamp, since it celebrates islam’s highest achievement and is blessed to all of them.

Just getting it neatened up a little would be a vast improvement.

Actually, I expect that if there is a marked change in tone, most of America will respond to that. It isn’t just Donald cleaning up; it’s all of us.

A president can't clean house in the bureaucracy at all, short of endless vetoes of favorite Congressional spending.

President Trump will just buy us a little time. A few minutes in a voting booth a few times a decade isn't going to do much to stop the suicide of American culture.
