Name Location Comments
Deborah K. Gage, Citizen Wagoner, Oklahoma Let's recognize a true hero, Audie Murphy, with an entire stamp series. WWII's most decorated hero deserves this recognition. Our children need to know about this remarkable man. Please let his memory live with a stamp series.
William D. Gaither, Retired Navy Bunker Hill, West Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Captain Richard M. Galecki, USNR Warrenton, Virginia Stamps should commemorate outstanding individuals and memorable events. I can't think of any American more outstanding and whose actions were more memorable. A stamp issued in honor of Audie Murphy is the right thing to do.
Laverne A. Gales, Senior Citizen Steelton, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Edward Galley South Amboy, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Gary Galligan, Retiree Brigantine, New Jersey I would think than a real American hero would be shown more respect than a dumb cartoon character. But due to the fact that our President never spent a second in the military and showed how much character he really had by "RUNNING" away from his duty, it does not surprise me you have made this decision because it finally shows how much of a coward both you and our commander-in-chief really are.
Joseph C. Gamache, Active Marine Corps Honolulu, Hawaii I cannot believe that we put Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and Bugs Bunny on stamps and not a great American war hero like Audie Murphy.
Sheree Gamble, Educator Pittsburg, Kansas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Adam Gandy, Student Tallahassee, Florida I believe that Audie Murphy deserves a stamp. If Marilyn Monroe can get one, why not Mr. Murphy. I don't think supporters of this petition are requesting that you make a great sacrifice by giving him a stamp. Audie's stamp would represent all Medal of Honor winners and all true heroes of war, the dead. These people made great sacrifices for this country. Some gave all they could give, their lives. Audie's stamp would show all Americans and all the world that the U.S. government honors and respects the men who have stood by her in her hour of crisis. This is the right thing to do.
Kathryn Gardner, Citizen St. George, Utah It's time to honor a real hero. Audie Murphy certainly deserves a commemorative stamp. Get with it!
Ryon Gardner, Citizen Washington, Utah Let's honor real heroes instead of movie stars and cartoon characters.
James R. Garner Vallejo, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Garrett, Citizen Lexington, Kentucky Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James C. Gasko, Active Army Clarksville, Tennessee I think Audie Murphy is one of the Army's greatest examples of a soldier!
Catherine Gauldin Houston, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Robert F. Gavan, Retired Navy Lafayette, New York No true American doubts that Audie Murphy was a hero. I can think of no finer tribute to this fine man, than to have him honored on a commemorative stamp. After all, the postal service is first and foremost interested in the profit margin. Audie is still looked up to by a great many Americans and I am sure that an "Audie Murphy" stamp will generate a great deal of sales. Please consider putting this fine American hero on a stamp. After all, if Elvis and M. Monroe can have their own stamp, isn't it only fitting that this hero should have one?
Darlene Gay, Citizen The Woodlands, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Barbe Gazis Lakeland, Florida We honor birds and plants, sports figures and musical figures. Why not a truly heroic American.
LTC William D. Geeslin, Active Army Fort Sam Houston, Texas Audie Murphy is a US and world hero. He should be honored with a stamp, as a minimum, for this soldier's outstanding service to his country. He is the most highly decorated hero for bravery in US history. It is a terrible disservice that this man is not honored with a stamp. Many, many people, of very far less magnitude, have been honored with a stamp. Many of these people are not anywhere near the superb caliber of Audie Murphy. I know the stamp issue has been going on for at least five years and it is a sad state of affairs when a national hero cannot receive recognition with a stamp. Audie deserves nothing less. We as a nation owe this to Audie Murphy, to honor him, and in doing so we will honor service members that have served throughout our history as a nation, that have so honorably served this great nation of ours. This is an easy fix and should be done most expeditiously.
CWO-5 Jim Gehris, Active Marine Corps Oceanside, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Darrell G. Getchell, Retired Air Force Phoenix, Arizona Audie Murphy was the most decorated soldier of WWII. Since we recognize movie stars, entertainers, cartoon characters, etc., I think it only fitting that we should honor a real war hero also. There are hundreds of thousands of veterans who would also be honored if one of their comrades were so honored. As a retired USAF Chief Master Sergeant with 30 years military service, I request you consider my petition for an Audie Murphy Stamp Series.
Colonel Christopher J. Giaimo, Retired Air Force Burke, Virginia If our nation's most honored and decorated hero of WWII is not worthy of being represented on a US Stamp, then no one else should be. Just issue stamps with the US Flag (unless of course that doesn't meet your criteria.)
Guy Gilchrist, Fan Huntsville, Ontario This would be a very good way to say thank you to a very brave man.
Daniel R. Gilkison, Active Army Fort Meade, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James L. Gilkison, Veteran ????, Oregon Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Tony Gillis, Patriot Deland, Florida I find it hard to believe that being the greatest nation on earth that we cannot for some odd reason honor a 100% war hero like Audie Murphy. On the other hand, considering our commander-and-chief, its not too hard to see the country's way of thinking.
Robert A. Gillott Virginia City, Nevada Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Kenneth Gilmore, Active Army Jonesboro, Georgia Some men fought wars; some men won wars.
1SG John S. Gioia, Active Army Fort Bragg, North Carolina I think he sets the example as a true leader!!
J. R. Glen, Educator Watford, Ontario; Canada Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Jeneva Glenny, Citizen Roswell, New Mexico Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Susan Gochenaur, Fan Manchester, Pennsylvania Please reconsider your decision not to create a stamp for Audie Murphy. All of us owe a great debt to the men of WWII and a tribute to the best of the best would be a great way to honor his and their memories. Thanks for your time.
Stephen Godjas, Professional Flemington, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Brian P. Golden, Veteran Allston, Massachusetts Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Glen Golightly Houston, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Darlene Gorcyca (Not Given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mae Goshorn, Senior Citizen Duncannon, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michael Goss Mifflintown, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Therese M. Goudy, Citizen Marysville, Pennsylvania Please see fit to honor such a man. Can it be we've lost all sense of who our real heroes are or what constitutes heroism in these UNITED STATES? He fought for his country and made quite a contribution to these UNITED STATES during his lifetime. Thank you in advance for I know you'll make the right decision. YES!!!
David P. Grant, Disabled Vet Lakewood, Ohio Its a shame when my child is doing a report on Audie Murphy and no one knows about him, not his teachers, not the library, not even book stores. Not to worry though. They have plenty on Hitler and other thugs. But I guess in your eyes Hitler is far more important than Audie Murphy.
Paul Granville Williamsville, New York Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Anne Grasso Norwood, Massachusetts Please honor Audie Murphy with a stamp as he is a symbol of courage that his country needs to remember. The youth of this country should learn about him as he is a positive role model in what is becoming a negative world.
Ashley Grasso, Fan Norwood, Massachusetts Audie Murphy was a great American hero, the last of a great line ... the brave All-Americans. Not only was he a great actor, but he was also a courageous WWII veteran. Many other famous people have gotten commemorative stamps, such as Humphrey Bogart, and he wasn't half as brave as Audie Murphy. Murph deserves a series not only for his acting, but for his dedication to his country.
Stephen Graves Reading, Massachusetts Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Chris Gray ????, Washington Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James Gray, Police Officer Springfield, Illinois I don't think having the most decorated soldier ever, a Medal of Honor recipient, honored on a simple postage stamp is too much to ask, do you? After all, we have Marilyn Monroe - an actress, Elvis Presley - a singer, Bugs Bunny - a cartoon rabbit, pretty flowers and all kinds of other ... stuff. I don't have to tell you what are on the stamps today. But being a simple, low rank soldier in service to our country, wounded in battle while keeping this nation free so people would someday be able to honor a cartoon character with a stamp, isn't good enough to get one of his own, is that it? Did the stamp committee serve their country in any way? Is the postmaster worthy of the title "General"? How about honoring a simple country boy who became just another dogface serving his country with a stamp? After all, he only earned our nation's highest honor that can be bestowed on any soldier, not to mention all the other decorations from this and other countries that felt he did a good job too. But then I guess only those who care about history will know this. Believe it or not kids collect stamps as well as adults. But ask a kid, and even some adults, who Audie Murphy was and you'll get a blank stare. Then ask them who Marily, Elvis and Bugs are. Do you really think they learned of their existence by way of your stamps? You have an opportunity to teach a little history here, even if it is only on a stamp. Your response is welcome but not expected.
Lyn Gray, Citizen Clarksville, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jim Green Woodbridge, Virginia JUST DO IT ... PLEASE.
Fran Grimm Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Please consider a stamp for Audie Murphy, a man who did so much for his country. I was pleased when the Elvis & James Dan stamps were issued but Audie certainly did more than Elvis or Jamie. Thank you for your consideration.
Daniel Groen, Veteran Acampo, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Carl Gros Cape Girardeau, Missouri Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Don E. Gross, Patriot Scott City, Missouri Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Peggy Gross, Civil Servant Scott City, Missouri Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William Gruber, Educator Fontana, California How can a "General" not want to honor a Medal of Honor winner. You, sir, are suspect in my opinion.
Alexis Gustin Orem, Utah Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Tracy Guynes, Citizen Greenville, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joseph R. Guzzardi Lodi, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
