Jill Gabeler Westminster, Colorado The public gives voice for the stamp of it's choice
Audie's face on the letter...the sooner the better
Don't keep us waiting for a year and a day,
A series of "Audies" is our shout of "hoo-ray"
The time is long past for this public salute,
To respect ALL soldiers who's voices are mute.
Honor the past peace and remember its' cost.
Pride for the future, and wisdom not lost.
If only one face can encourage us all,
Then Audie Murphy is him, and God guide us all!
Bob Gabler (not given) Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Ray Gaddis Winston-Salem, North Carolina Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
SGT Patrick Gaebelein Ft. Riley, Kansas Audie sould be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jo-Ann Gallo Sterling, Connecticut It is disgraceful that Elvis and other "entertainers" have been honored with commemorative stamps and/or entire stamp series. For the most part, THEY only needed large egos and camera appeal. Audie Murphy is a true American hero who arose from the most humble beginnings and risked his life to become WWII's most decorated war hero. He is long-overdue and most deserving of national recognition by the issuance of a commemorative stamp series.
Steven Gale Whittier, California If you can honor cartoons and communists, you can honor America's greatest WWII hero. Please seriously consider this request.
Paula J. Galloway Killeen, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Ronald G. Galloway Killeen, Texas Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Thomas J. Gannon, Jr.
AEC (sel) U.S.N.
Corpus Christi, Texas What are you people thinking? The military is a HUGE patron of the U.S. Postal Service. To deny this is tantamount to flag burning or spitting on Vietnam Veterans upon their homecoming.
Mark B. Garcia Palo Alto, California It sickens me that you could ignore someone as heroic as audie Murphy, who gave fully to his country in a time of need, and who brought enjoyment and inspiration to generations of Americans. How could you honor a cartoon which was created for profit and ignore one of our greatest heroes? Please do the right thing and honor Mr. Murphy as he should be honored, with a complete stamp series.
Alan Gardner St. George, Utah Heroes like Audie Murphy should never be forgotten.
Marshall Gardner Florence, Alabama I noticed our Post Office now sports a Bugs Bunny stamp. I applaud your efforts to incorporate many elements of American life into your philatelic menu. I have to believe that Audie Murphy, as our most decorated warior of WWII, is at least as deserving of commemoration and honor as is Bugs. I urge you to favorably consider the petitions and requests for a stamp for Lieutenant Murphy. As always, I appreciate your time with my letter. Should you wish to respond to me, you may contact me at mgardner@HiWAAY.net.
Luiz V. Gargiulo Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil I think Audie is a great American Hero. I am from Brasil, South America and I learned to admire this man, like an actor and now like a World War II hero. I think only a stamp is not enough. We need more to honor this hero. Someone who fights against the nazi and racism deserves a lot more honor.
L. Garrison-Webster MacDill Air Force Base, Florida If we can find a way to honor Elvis Presley who brought to the youth of the world the use of drugs, alcohol, and a wild life, then I think it is time to honor one of America's greatest heroes, Audie Murphy. I urge you to consider a stamp series honoring Audie Murphy.
Barbara J. Gary Indianapolis, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Amber Gates Exeter, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
August L. Gatto Ebensburg, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
MSG Raymond G. Gauvin Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jean B. Gearhart Supply, North Carolina I think it is a shame on this country that Audie Murphy has not already had a stamp in his honor. Do so as soon as possible. This country might even be in existence without Murphy.
Morgan T. Geiger El Cerrito, California If we can honor Elvis Presley, a man who married an underaged girl and died a fat drug addict, what message is the government sending America's youth by not honoring our service members? Stamps should not only honor medal of honor recipients, but police officers, firefighters, and others who represent American values.
Michael W. Gerow San Diego, California Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Fabre Gert Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Marilyn Gilbert Irving, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Tracy Gilbreth Hunt, Texas Any one should be ashamed of themselves if they don't work as hard as they can to get this done. As a WWII veteran and a cousin of Audie, I will do all that is possible to get this accomplished.
Guy Gilchrist, Fan Huntsville, Ontario, Canada This would be a very good way to say thank you to a very brave man.
Charlotte Gillam Rutland, Vermont We have had stamps honor some questionable characters. Mr. Murphy was an honor to these United States in the most critical time of our history. He should not be forgotten. At a time when young people need heros, what better role model than Audie Murphy. He and his deeds should not be forgotten.
Kenneth Gilmore, Active Army Jonesboro, Georgia Some men fought wars, some men won wars.
Reverend Nathan R. Gilpin, Sr. Sterling, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Vernice Gjertson Killeen, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Carla Goodloe Fresno, California This guy deserves more than any cartoon bunny! Sheesh!
Robert A. Goerdt Cedar Rapids, Iowa Audie Murphy is a national hero and should be honored as such!!
David Tomislav Golik Miami, Florida Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
David Gomez 58th Signal Company, APO AE Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dale Gooch Granite Falls, Washington Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Nancy Lovelace Gooch Smyrna, Georgia This is one of our greatest American heroes and he should have an entire stamp series printed in his honor.

Shirley Good San Jose, California Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
David Gossett West Carrollton, Ohio Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Sue Gossett Carrollton, Ohio We must never forget this man who gave so much for his country.
Sally Drees Gottliebson Columbus, Ohio Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Walter Gould Cyrpress, California We have honored many patriots and heroes in the past by commemorative postage stamps. It seems to be long overdue that Audie Leon Murphy be so honored.
Susanna Reeve Gow Fort Lauderdale, Florida Under what criteria has Audie L. Murphy been ignored in this decision-making process? Elvis Presley's likeness appears on a postage stamp but not the most decorated soldier for combat action in the history of the United States? With all due respect, the time to honor the memory of Audie Murphy has come and gone many times over. My elected representatives are being made aware of my feelings. Thank you.
Gregory Goya Honolulu, Hawaii Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Tamra S. Graff Salem, Oregon Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
LCDR Dale E. Grages Las Vegas, Nevada Truly Audie Murphy set the proper peer image for our youth today. Our present generation of young people rate inputs about him from the best of proper sources available. A stamp series is a most appropriate source for this input.
G. Alan Graham Clarksville, Tennessee This man had quite an impact on our history and culture, as well as being exemplary in his personal life and characteristics. For many, many reasons, Audie Murphy deserves not a single stamp but a whole commemorative stamp series.
Darrell W. Green, National Guard Lincoln, Nebraska It is time to make a difference in our country. We are in need of keeping our history alive with our military heroes also. We cannot teach and build respect in our children's minds by only honoring radical civil rights leaders. We must promote our heritage. We are free today as a result of our duty to our country...not just our race! Do something honorable.
Jalynn Grieshaber Milan, Michagan I think that it is disgusting to make a stamp collection that honors a TV show that has been on for no more than three years and yet you do not have a stamp series honoring the most decorated soldier of World War II!
Donna Green Waxahachie, Texas Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Rodney L. Greene Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Meeus Greet Gent, Belgium As the winner of one of my country's highest medals for valor and heroism, Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
David Gregorin Sewickley, Pennsylvania Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Paul T. Gridler Fort Wayne, Indiana As a veteran of the US Army, I had the opportunity to serve in the 3rd Infantry Division and saw the record that Audie Murphy compiled while he was in it. I feel that that kind of sacrifice for the country should be remembered. Also, by remembering him, I feel that you will also be acknowledging the effort of the many members of the armed services who did their best throughout history in defending our country. We cannot forget what happened and by recognizing heroes, we have a constant reminder of what others have done. You have done a very good job commemorating others for their efforts. I feel Audie Murphy deserves at least a commemorative stamp.
Linda Grieshaber Milan, Michigan They have a stupid stamp for a rabbit and not for Audie, right? Seems to be something wrong with that!
Sondra Griffin, Citizen Lincoln, Nebraska Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Lawrence S. Groff Hope, Rhode Island Certainly if you can have a stamp with Bugs Bunny and Dick Tracey there should be no question that there should be a series of stamps honoring Audie Murphy, one of this nation's greatest heroes.
Ron Guilford Titusville, Florida Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Daniel C. Guy, Veteran Saluda, South Carolina As an ex-paratrooper, I feel like the post office should honor those who have distinguished themselves. In particularly Audie Murphy. His record stands alone.
