Traditionally, royalty, heads of state and world-renowned celebrities were given the honour of being immortalised on a stamp in their own lifetime. However, even in the world of stamps, new winds are blowing in. Consequently, several other postal services have begun issuing stamps with contemporary individuals, who bear neither blue blood, presidential status nor global notoriety. Last year Greenland followed suit. The series ‘Everyday Heroes of Greenland’ commenced with two stamps issued in August 2023. It is now time to pay tribute to two more everyday heroes in Greenland.
