Name Location Comments
Larry L. Kaiser, Retired Navy Burke, Virginia Honoring American heroes with a commemorative stamp is significantly more important than honoring cartoon characters and pop stars. Make commemorative stamps mean something important. Audie Murphy is one of the greatest heroes this country has ever had. Knock of the B.S. and do it.
Koji D. Kanemoto, Patriot (Not Given) Instead of remembering Bugs Bunny or Elvis, we should honor some of our past true patriots.
Uuno Kanto, Movie Fan Sioux City, Iowa Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Ken Kays, Patriot Chula Vista, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Eileen M. Kays APO AE (Mainz, Germany) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
CPT William J. Kays, Active Army APO AE (Mainz, Germany) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
George K. Keck, Active Army Fort Sill, Oklahoma Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
F. Karpinski, Citizen Stella, Nebraska I strongly recommend that a commemorative stamp be issued in honor of Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated American military service member who ever fought during WWII or any war.
Charles Keebaugh, Active Air Force Hinesville, Georgia I can't believe that our country will honor movie stars with stamps but not an American war hero. What is our country coming to?
William Keefer, Friend Brooklyn, New York With great power comes great responsibility.
Lou Keenan Villas, ??? Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
DeeAnn Keener, Movie Fan Lockport, Illinois If cartoon characters can be honored, I think a real hero should have no questions asked about having a stamp.
Don Kelby, War Veteran St. Peters, Missouri If you can put meaningless drivel on a stamp such as cartoon characters surely you can honor a true American hero.
Bruce K. Keller, Veteran College Park, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Daniel H. Kellett, War Veteran Brookfield, Wisconsin Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Paul S. Kelley, Retired Army Hampstead, New Hampshire A full series of Medal of Honor winners would be an excellent idea for Stamps. Infinitely more appropriate than a chartoon character.
Wendy Kelley, Citizen Greenville, Texas I believe a man with so many honors, with such talent in music, and with the ability to entertain millions with his movies should definitely have a stamp made in his honor.
Ronald W. Kelly, Retired Army Picayune, Mississippi Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Shelly Kelly Galveston, Texas It is a sad day when our country forgets the men who strove to ensure our freedom and liberties were protected. I cannot think of ANY reason that Audie Murphy should not be honored with a stamp.
Terry Kendall, Retired Army Bagley, Wisconsin Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mary H. Kendall, War Veteran Wichita, Kansas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Wayne Kennedy (Not Given) The stamp of Marilyn Monroe looks so horrible to me because she never served in any armed service. I never approved of her on a stamp. People on stamps should be reasonable and honorable including Audie Murphy. Apparently, you waste lots of money for a Marilyn Monroe stamp.
Lance R. Kennington, College Student Moscow, Idaho Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James P. Kenyon, Veteran San Bruno, California Audie Murphy was a true American hero. He gave his all for his country without a thought for himself (his military service is proof). He deserves to be recognized with a stamp.
Craig Kerwood, Veteran Port Orchard, Washington Mr. Postmaster General, respectfully, sir, I would like to say that this is a "no-brainer." Audie Murphy, a great American and war hero deserves this honor and recognition. Sir, please give this matter your most serious consideration.
Rose Ann Keys, Citizen Broken Arrow, Oklahoma We should honor the medal of honor heroes of all the wars of the USA.
Tom Kilgore, Active Army Fort Wainwright, Alaska Our nation sorely needs heroes. Audie Murphy is such a person. Please consider using the image of Audie Murphy on a future stamp.
J. P. Kilkenny, II, Civil Servant Port Jefferson, New York Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Thomas R. Kim, Teacher Stockton, California Audie Murphy deserves at least a commemorative stamp if not a series. He is a fine example of a person who came from a poor background but with hard work made something of himself.
Roger Kimble, Citizen Princeton, West Virginia If there is a single person that we would honor, then certainly Mr. Audie Murphy qualifies. For his heroic actions in WWII, he has no peer. If we cannot honor men such as these, then please, no more movie stars or sports figures, or for that matter, no more anyone.
Tom King, War Veteran Huntsville, Alabama We need to honor those who made our country great and safe for all of "We The People".
Martha and Dave Kinzie, Citizens Washington, Utah Please issue a commemorative stamp to honor Audie Murphy. Heroes like him should never be forgotten.
Dennis Kirch, Patriot Canyon Lake, Texas Our heroes are quickly passing. It is only fitting that a stamp of AUDIE MURPHY be seen by the younger generation and that freedom is not free. It is not. It was paid for by heroes like Audie Murphy. To the older generation, it will help reinstate the faith in our government and leaders in this great country we call the good ole USA.
Laurel Kirkman, White Collar Worker Bellingham, Washington Young people today need good role models and Audie Murphy is an excellent choice.
Bruce W. Kletz Germantown, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Christopher Klocek Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Janie Knapp North Las Vegas, Nevada I really would like to see this country issue a postage stamp to honor a great American - Audie Murphy. How many true heroes has this country had lately? Practically none. I have to tell you, we need some stamps we can be proud of. How many more flowers can you use?! Since you have an opportunity to produce an item that many millions of people will see on a daily basis, use an image that will inspire us and make us proud that we are Americans!!! Also, why in the WORLD do we have to wait until a person has been deceased for ten years before we can use their image on a stamp?? I'd like to see the late Robert and Jackie Kennedy honored on a stamp also!
James C. Knepp, Blue Collar Worker Dillsburg, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Rosemead, California I feel Audie Murphy merits a commemorative US stamp. He killed many more people than Elvis did. Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Natalie Knipp, Citizen ????, New Jersey It is about time we remembered this man and all he has done. He was in every sense of the word what this country needs "A HERO". There are so many younger who don't even know his name and I can only ask WHY?
Audrey Koch Wahiawa, Hawaii With a man so decorated, I do think he deserves a commemorative stamp series in his name. A boy so young to save so many lives at the risk of losing his own. He should be honored. If they can have a stamp set for Marilyn Monroe, I think he deserves one more.
Matt Kolenda Rockville, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Sarah Korwin Sedgwick, Kansas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Lawrence J. Kosmas, Fan Annapolis, Maryland Audie Murphy deserves this commemoration.
Jerry Kovar, Jr. Mentor, Ohio Please help keep the memory of our great hero alive.
Jim Kramer Lorain, Ohio Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Jim Krenn Huntsville, Alabama Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dean Kresila Olmsted Twp., Ohio Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Angela Kriger (Not Given) Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Jack and Sandra Krueger, Citizens Eagle Point, Oregon Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Ryan Krueger, Active Army Fort Hood, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
David L. Kruse, Citizen Harpers Ferry, West Virginia Above and beyond the call of Duty. Audie did this for you and me so taking a moment to get him on a stamp is a very small sacrifice.
William Kruspe, Citizen Hilton, New York I think that it is time that Audie Murphy be recognized for his contribution to our country and to the example he set for his fellow soldiers and for our country.
Chet Kuduk, White Collar Worker Wrightwood, California One of the greatest soldiers in the world. For all his efforts and accomplishments, he should at least have his own stamp.
Kelli Kuduk, 12th Grade Student Wrightwood, California The importance of Audie Murphy is unarguable; I find it both amazing and a shame that so few people of my age group do not even have the slightest idea who this hero was.
Jeff Kuhn, Retired Air Force Colorado Springs, Colorado One of my favorite activities takes place on Memorial Day. I make it a practice to ask as many people as I can "Who is Audie Murphy?" In the last six years, one woman got close when she asked me in reply, "Wasn't he a movie star?" Most of the responses have ranged from "I don't know" to "I think he was a rock star."

To not commemorate what Audie Murphy did for all of us is truly sad. I feel like Lowell Thomas who remarked, "Jesus wept" after seeing a Turkish army column wiped out by T.E. Lawrence's Arab army. Certainly, Jesus must weep at what I consider disrespect of a national hero.

As a 20 year Air Force veteran, I'll pursue my favorite activity every Memorial Day. Who is Audie Murphy? Like most Americans I query who can't answer correctly, maybe you should honor the "most decorated soldier in U.S. history" through a stamp series. That's the least you could do for someone who put his life on the line for the bountiful harvest you enjoy today.
Vicki Kyzar, Educator Monroe, Louisiana If Marilyn Monroe can be put on a stamp, Audie should be too! He did more than she did for the US.
