Postal service releases Boston Light commemorative stamp

The US Postal Service today released a Forever stamp depicting Boston Light, the first lighthouse in the country, along with stamps honoring four other New England lighthouses. "Lighthouses have different meanings for different people. It means hope, it means 'the light,' " said Sally Snowman, keeper of Boston Light. "It also has a very important role as a navigational aide. ... Now that it's a stamp, the federal government has acknowledged it as an important piece of history."
