The dedication ceremony for the First Continental Congress, 1774, stamp topped Link’s coverage last week.
The stamp honors the 250th anniversary of a milestone on the path to the American Revolution.
“Here, where the footholds of democracy were established, we dedicate this stamp with a spirit of gratitude for the freedoms that we enjoy today,” said Roman Martinez IV, the USPS Board of Governors chairman, who spoke at the Philadelphia event.
Link also reported plans for temporary price changes for the holiday season and the release of a Delivering for America video message on the Postal Service’s environmental sustainability efforts, as well as videos on the new Pinback Buttons and Autumn Colors stamps, and the reopening of enrollment for the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program.
Other stories highlighted the beginning of the latest Combined Federal Campaign, as well as the start of National Preparedness Month and National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month.

Amin lost 40 pounds to get in shape for the show.
“What’s good about ‘Ninja’ is it helps you overcome life’s obstacles,” he said.
