Author	Topic: Goddard liquid-fuel rocket centennial covers
Axman Member Posts: 888 From: Derbyshire UK Registered: Mar 2023	posted 02-21-2026 08:53 AM March 16, 2026 will mark the centennial date of Robert Goddard's epic experimental liquid-fuelled rocket flight launched from his aunt's cabbage patch just outside Auburn, Massachusetts. Will anybody be producing a cachet for Goddard's flight anniversary? Will the USPS issue a special cancellation for Auburn Massachusetts on 16th March 2026?

Nothing yet as of today on a Goddard anniversary cancel; I would guess in March they would announce something, then a collector would have 30 days from the date to submit covers for a postmark cancellation.
