In the 2000s, the digital age really took off. We saw the increased popularization of the Internet as well as the introduction of such social media platforms as Facebook and Twitter. E-mail also began to take over as the most popular way to send messages rather than sending a letter by mail. The 2000s were also marked with the tragedy of 9/11 and the beginning of the War on Terror, War in Afghanistan, and Iraq War. On a lighter note, communication was easier than ever as cell phones and texting became mainstays for most adults. And the United States saw the election of our first African American president – Barack Obama – and the death of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Some of the stamps I saw in my set of 100 covers included the 2002 Semi-postal memorializing all those who died in the 9/11 tragedy, the 2000 Library of Congress issue, plus stamps from the Lunar New Year Series, Black Heritage Series, and more. There was even a stamp honroing the bicentennial of the United States Military Academy. Order your set today.
