Orlando Postmaster Diane
Tindle (right) presented an enlarged Year of the Dog Forever stamp at the 7th Annual
Central Florida Dragon Parade Lunar New Year Festival held in Orlando.
The Dog is the 11th
stamp in the series, which will continue through 2019. The artwork depicts an
arrangement of lucky bamboo and a lozenge-shaped piece of red paper with the
Chinese character “fu” – meaning “good fortune” – rendered in calligraphy,
which is a common decoration on doors and entry ways during the festivities.
“I’m proud to say our stamp
program demonstrates our nation’s deep regard for its rich and complex heritage,”
stated Postmaster Tindle.
