DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. (AP) -- Sand Island Lighthouse, the 135-year-old tower near Dauphin Island at the entrance of Mobile Bay, will be featured on a U.S. Postal Service stamp next year.

Postal officials made that announcement Monday. A campaign to save the hurricane-battered lighthouse from further decay is under way.

Sand Island is one of five Gulf Coast lighthouses selected for a commemorative stamp collection slated to be released in the summer.

Paintings of lighthouses in Matagorda Island, Texas; Sabine Pass, La.; Biloxi, Miss.; and Fort Jefferson, Fla. will also be part of the 42-cent stamp collection.
