Thomas D. LaDoux Albuquerque, New Mexico In years past the USPS has honored Americans with a stamp who have done much less for their country than Audie Murphy. I believe it is only fitting to honor him with a stamp series citing all his accomplishments so that we may never forget the sacrifices made by our veterans.
Michael S. Laha Wheaton, Illinois Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Lambert, Ann Hutchinson, Kansas There is no time like the present to honor veterans with a stamp series for Audie Murphy. LEST WE FORGET, there are REAL heroes. Thank you for your consideration in this very important request.
Jeffrey Land (not given) Why continue to ignore our pleas? How can a caring man who loves Elvis and Bugs Bunny pretend Audie does not deserve recognition for his great contributions to our society even today, fifty years on? I think you could soften your heart today and begin the process needed to generate a stamp in honor of our most prized modern hero.

Thanks so much,
Jeff's Mother
Pat Landis Lexington, Kentucky I believe that Mr. Audie Murphy deserves to be remembered by placing his countenance on a U.S. postage stamp. Mr. Murphy, although a competent actor, needs to be remembered for his bravery during World War II and not just for his acting ability.
Georganne Landsnes (not given) Audie Murphy was a true American hero who exhibited qualities of courage, intelligence, and tenacity. He overcame adversities and touched Americans in many walks of life. He, like so many others, sacrificed a great deal to ensure our liberties, and special commemoration is warranted for this unique individual. He was a war hero, actor, author, poet, and songwriter. Other nations have already recognized Audie Murphy on stamps as part of remembering the Second World War (eg, Guyana), and the United States should do the same.
Joyce Lane Paragon, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Teresa Lane Nixa, Missouri Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William C. Lang, III (not given) Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Doug Langley Mississauga, Canada Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Richard B. Lauber Juneau, Alaska The most decorated war hero in the history of the U.S. should be honored on a postage stamp.
James Lauer Clarksville, Tennessee Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michael J. Laurino, White Collar Worker Brooklyn, New York Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dennis Lavallee Lithia Springs, Georgia Audie Murphy is the essence of an American, risking his life so all of us can live in a FREE AMERICA.
Jeffrey B. Lavender Fort Sill, Oklahoma Audie Murphy should be hononored with an entire stamp series.
John Lawlor McKee City, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
J. Lawrence, Retired Army Fredericksburg, Virginia I think it's awful that Elvis Presley has a stamp, but our most decorated veteran of World War II has no stamp honoring him. Certainly Audie Murphy is deserving of this honor. He certainly did a lot for this country. Nowadays, the US Veteran is treated pretty badly, what with cuts to benefits, etc. This is just another example. I had no idea that this hero had no stamp for him. Didn't they honor thefour brothers who were killed on the same ship in World War II? Surely Audie Murphy deserves this honor.
Judy D. Lawson Big Stone Gap, Virginia Audie Murphy is certainly deserving of being honored with a stamp series. As the most decorated soldier of WWII he was a hero to my parents' generation as well as to my own. America should be reminded of what just one man could do for his country in the fight for freedom. Audie Murphy was and will always be a hero and it would do the country good to see it's heroes honored this way.
Ginger Leake (not given) How can Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley be more deserving of a stamp than one of America's greatest heroes? He's not as well known as they are, that's true, but the post office makes so many different stamps and all aren't about famous people. Audie Murphy should be honored with a stamp for all he was to this country during and after WWII.
Whitney Leake Newport News, Virginia An American hero like Audie Murphy should have been honored with a stamp years ago!
Ben Lee Starkville, Mississippi The USPS has honored countless great Americans in the past with their own stamps. The Post Office has even issued silly stamps like the one of Bugs Bunny. Sure, Bugs has a place in Americana, but how can that compare to someone like Audie Murphy. I think the USPS, as a federal institution, has a duty to issue a stamp to a hero of millions of Americans ... Audie Murphy.
Carl Lehmberg, Jr. Converse, Texas I fell Audie Murphy needs to be honored by our country.
Jennifer Leithauser Silverton, Colorado Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Lenart Dayton, Ohio This guy is a true American hero. If anyone deserves such recognition, it is him!
Melissa Leonard, Citizen Hudson, Florida Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Erin Leszczak Killeen, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William J. Letunic Carlisle, Pennsylvania Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William L. Levan (not given) Honor and Glory forever!
Renee A. Lewand Apache Junction, Arizona Please honor this great hero by creating a series of stamps in his honor. Too many people today have no heros to look up to and in this world, heros are scarce. Please help the youth of today to become acquainted with a true hero and truly wonderful actor.
SSG Jason L. Lewis El Paso, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Randy Lewis Sierra Vista, Arizona This should have been done a long time ago. If I was the Postmaster General I would have said "DO IT NOW".
Scott E. Lewis Lumberton, Texas You yankees and scawly wags are so quick to honor dope heads, liberals, adulterers, rock stars, athletes, and corrupt politicians. But heaven forbid that you pay homage to a great southern gentleman such as Mr. Murphy or even worse, Robert E. Lee. I think it makes you(s guys) feel inferior, huh. Don't feel uncomfortable ... you can just tell yourself this is just another backwards, conservative southerner still in need of reconstructing to the federal way of things. You can also tell yourself "poor guy ... probably still believes in states rights."
Albert Leyns 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.
Hsiu-ying Li Killeen, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp seeries.

Ryan Liebhaber, Cadet, USMA West Point, New York Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Amy Liposky Pittsburg, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Cynthia O. Livingston Saranac, Michigan There are in my book, few true American heroes and Audie Murphy is one of them. He should be honored and remembered for the courage he displayed. In remembering someone like him, we also remember the others who fought bravely. He is well deserving of such a tribute.
Robert A. Locke Indian Head, Maryland Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Audie D. Lockhart Calhoun, Georgia It's time to honor a man who did what many thought was impossible. Audie Murphy is proof of what can happen when the American spirit is matched with the human spirit. Let's honor this man.
Vicky Loebel San Jose, California I've admired Audie for the last 10 years, for his work as an actor, his record as an American citize, and the compassion displayed in his autobiography.

Best wishes, Vicky
Enzo Loop Port Orchard, Washington It is my pleasure to add my name to the growing list of petitioners for this honor.

Suzan Louden Sacramento, California Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William L. Louk, Jr. Rochester, New York As a letter carrier, I know about all of the stamps we put out to other people and their causes. Audie Murphy was a real American Hero. With all the hoopla we did on Elvis (old or young) Audie should be remembered by us in a special way.
