The U.S. Postal Service is issuing a couple new stamps, one honoring former First Lady Betty Ford another paying tribute to the threatened manatee.

The official unveiling takes place this afternoon at the White House with First Lady Jill Biden and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

Ford served as first lady from 1974 to 1977 and went on to raise awareness of addiction issues, serving as the first chair of the Betty Ford Center.

Also, a "Save Manatees" stamp will be available to buy across the U.S. on "Manatee Appreciation Day," which is March 27.

It's the first USPS manatee stamp since 1996.
