Richard Macias, Veteran Tucson, Arizona I think it's a shame that Audie Murphy has not received a commemorative stamp. I think that the post office should stop trying to be politically correct in issuing commemorative stamps and start honoring those who truly deserve and have earned the right to be placed on a United States Postage Stamp. If there is one person who can truly be called an American, it's Audie Murphy. He exemplifies a strength and courage which is what we as a country are.
Jason Mackenzie Raleigh, North Carolina I believe Audie Murphy is a true American hero and deserves to be recognized with a stamp series. In a world lacking positive role models and true heroes, it would be great to see a REAL American hero recognized.
Sandra MacNicoll Trenton, New Jersey If the U.S. Postal Service can honor the entertainment industry as much as it does with commemorative stamps, surely it can at least do as much for one of the greatest military heroes of this century.
Paul G. Madden Round Rock, Texas Audie L. Murphy is an American Legend. He needs to be recognized as such with a commemorative stamp so do the right thing and grant our request.
Failelei L. Maiava Copperas Cove, Texas Audie should be honored with a commemorative stamp.
Mark Manchester Emporia, Kansas I think it would be a great injustice to not honor Mr. Murphy in this way. Not only did he leave his mark on the entertainment industry, he showed what the meaning of a true hero is by his actions. Please grant this request. Along with the notoriety he deserves, it would help today's youth gain a knowledge of this great person.
William Mangieri, Reservist, Armed Forces Hopewell Junction, New York Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Theresa Mann (not given) There have been stamps honoring military heros and stamps honoring movie stars, it makes sense that there should be a stamp honoring Murphy who was both!
Jon Mansfield Mt. Sterling, Kentucky Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Don Maples, Retired Army Nolanville, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Thom March, Citizen Murphys, California I believe a stamp in honor and memory of this great war hero is long overdue.
Les Marcum Kentucky Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Edwin C. Marion Forks, Washington As an Honorably Discharged Veteran of both WWII and Korea, where by the way, I served in the 3rd Infantry Division same as Murphy, I understand the real meaing of "Hero" when it comes to men like Audie Murphy. Here was a true hero in any man's army.
Martin A. Markley, Retired Army Fullerton, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jay D. Marksheid Little Neck, New York Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Meridyth D. Martin Hampton, Virginia I believe Audie Murphy should have an entire stamp dedicated to him. He was one individual that should have a stamp dedicated to himself and only himself ...
Tom Martin Lansing, Michigan Audie Murphy was not only a true American hero, but, during the fifties when I was a kid, he was a cultural icon. I spent many a Saturday afternoon watching his westerns. No Audie Murphy is less well known than Bugs Bunny but he is just as well known as many of the obscure figures honored on United States stamps in recent years. Thanks.
Tony Martinez Anaheim, California Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mark Massengale Concord, North Carolina Audie Murphy was America's greatest war hero. We as a country need to remember and honor those who served this country in battle. Audie Murphy, the most decorated of all soldiers, can represent all soldiers who served and died for our country on a commemorative stamp.
Andrea Maus Monticello, Minnesota I think that Mr. Murphy deserves this great honor. He did so much for our country. Now it is time to show his family how much we care.
MSgt Howard May, USAF Roswell, Georgia After serving my country 25 years in the United States Air Force, both in Vietnam and the Gulf War, I can think of no other man more deserving of this honor. Please provide all of your support and take whatever action is necessary to insure this hero of America is recognized as such. Thank you.
John E. Mayes Caldwell, New Jersey Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Kitty J. McAdoo (not given) Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dan McCall Okeechobee, Florida Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp
Duncan E. McCarter Centreville, Virginia Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joe McClendon (not given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John McCollum Varnell, Georgia Audie Murphy was one of our greatest American war heroes. He is deserving of being placed and honored with a stamp
William T. McComb Chincoteague, Virginia I am on the local postal committee in Chincoteague, Virginia. All of us on the committee feel Audie needs to have a commemorative stamp. He was a WWII war hero!
David McCullough Fort Eustis, Virginia What is more important, Elvis on drugs or a hero that risked his life to fight for and defend the United States of America. I'm disgusted to even think that the U.S. Postal Service doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a true American Hero. (Message for the Postmaster: You must have been one of those draft dodgers (COWARDS) from the 60's and 70's).
Judy McDonald Kendallville, Indiana The other day I saw a T.V. commercial for a stamp for "Bugs Bunny". At the post office there are now all-occassion cards and special postcards for sale. SURELY - you can find it in your heart to print a SERIES of stamps for AUDIE MURPHY - a man who embodied all the ideals upon which this country was founded: hard work, patriotism, bravery, honesty, "family values" to name just a few. I can well imagine his memory is a rebuke to the present administration, but perhaps the president - instead of worrying about apologizing for slavery - would apologize for overlooking this true HERO.
Ben McElroy, Student ????, Utah When one forgets the past, one is doomed to repeat it again and learn again. Let us remember.
Diane McFadden, Citizen Littleton, Colorado Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dee McGrantham New Lisbon, New Jersey Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Any McMillon Kosciusko, Mississippi Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Neil James Mcomber ???? Connecticut Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Carey H. McQuillan NSW Australia Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Sherry Mcquate El Cajon, California My father, a WWII vet, and part-time movie projectionist, held Audie Murphy in awe, as I am sure many WWII vets did. His movies, though they seem contrived and corny by today's standards, provided a role model and morality plays to many of us baby-boomers. Mr. Murphy, though short in stature, cast a very tall shadow throughout the 50's and we can most certainly show our esteem and high regard for one of America's greatest war heroes and acknowledge the role his movies played in influencing the baby boomer generation.
John Other Medicine, Jr., Student Crow Agency, Montana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Clayton E. Memmott Centerville, Utah Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Peggy Menegakis, Patriot Granada Hills, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jeff Meriam (not given) Our children are inundated with fake heroes on TV, comics, etc. Audie Murphy was a genuine American hero who can serve as a role model for our young people. You routinely honor others who have served their country, thus, I think you should honor his memory, and his contribution to his country, with a stamp series.
Brenda Merkley Gainesville, Florida Audie was our most decorated soldier of WWII. How can you ignore him??
James Meunier Richmond, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series named after him. In addition, he should be honored on a commemorative stamp for the bravery and courage he showed during WWII.
Claudio de Micheli Asti, Italy Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Daniel G. Midgett ????, Florida Audie Murphy was my third cousin. I grew up thinking that he was perhaps one of the most heroic men in the world. I will do what I can to help.
Bradley R. Miller Ferguson, Missouri As a Department of the Army civilian employee and stamp collector, I would like to see one of America's greatest heroes commemorated with a stamp.
David Miller, Civil Servant Port Byron American's of Audie's stature are a very rare breed. He is deserving of this honor.
Dennis M. Miller Lockport, Illinois It's about time we honor true American heroes. Less we forget!
Eric Miller, Active Army Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Helen Miller Lockport, Illinois If we can give a stamp to "Elvis" a drug abuser, then how can we afford to ignore a "real" hero like Audie Murphy? If we don't honor his memory how can we expect our children to?
Larry Miller, Active Army Harrisburg, Illinois Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michelle Miller, Educator Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Robin Mills Copperas Cove, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joe Mivelaz Louisville, Kentucky Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jesse Leigh Mizzone Totowa, New Jersey Only in America would this petition drive be necessary. Because we are so free, due to people like Audie Murphy, men like the postmaster general exist. No doubt this glorified postman is feeling omnipotent as he basks in the attention of the common man pleading with him to consider Audie for a stamp. More likely he is impotent and the attention he is receiving puts some zip into his (code).

Sad really. But do not feel badly. The feats and deeds of Audie Murphy will far outlive the insignificance of a stubborn, stupid little man. Audie Murphy's memory is so uplifting to so many Americans that some day there will be a stamp or stamps, a movie or movies, and whatever else someone so great deserves as a thank you to what he did for us.

Often times in history the hero is truly appreciated long after he is gone. This is the case with Audie Murphy. And rest assured, he will be remembered forever, just as the current postmaster general will be forgotten faster than junk e-mail on your sister's broken computer. Long live the memory of the modest, humble, hero, Audie L. Murphy.
Stan Mocarsky Warwick, New York Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Roy Montenegro, National Guard Denver, Colorado Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Norman E. Moon Port Jervis, New York Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Don Moore Miamisburg, Ohio If any one should have a stamp it's AUDIE MURPHY!!!
Kenneth V. Moore, Reservist, Armed Forces Schenectady, New York Considering the caliber of some individuals (i.e. Marilyn Monroe) already so honored, it is difficult to understand your reluctance to honor an individual who served this country with distinction and has given great pleasure to audiences over the years.
Roy S. Moore, Retired Army Lilburn, Georgia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Barbra Lynn Moran Godfrey, Illinois This man has been ignored too long. Audie Murphy not only shows the best a person can be, but also, that each human can make mistakes. He was as close to normal as any person. How many people can honestly say they have not shared in at least one of his downfalls? Yet, not one person can share in his awards for bravery. School children should be taught about him. Leaving him out of war discussions of that period is as negligent as leaving the Vietnam "action" out of education.
Alan J. Morgan Liverpool, New York It is a disservice to this man and to the nation that our highest decorated veteran of WWII has not had a stamp in his honor.

Funny you can find the time to honor drug addicted, mentally disturbed Rock 'N Roll stars but no time for a real role model that our children can admire and learn from.
John Morgan Indianapolis, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Rayomond G. Morgan ??? Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michael E. Morris Hillsdale, Michigan Of all of the people who have been honored with being place on a stamp ... commemorative or otherwise ... Audie Murphy is the most deserving. Our country's most decorated veteran ... more American than Elvis and any other actor and definitely Bugs Bunny!
Richard Morris Las Vegas, Nevada He should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Timothy Morrison Richardson, Texas Audie Murphy is an American hero who deserves such an honor. Lt. Murphy as well as many other American heroes should be honored with postage stamps as opposed to placing flowers or art deco designs on stamps. Stamps are a way for American's to re-explore their heritage.
Leon Mortenson Provo, Utah Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Wesley D. Mortensen Chaska, Minnesota Please give strong consideration to the idea of a commemorative stamp to honor our most decorated war hero.
Karen Mott Portland, Oregon As the greatest soldier of all time, he above all should have this honor accorded to him. His story is an inspiration to all and should never be forgotten.
Charles H. Mount, Jr. Orange Park, Florida Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Mike Mudd Spanaway, Washington Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Armand Mueller Ventura, California Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Craig W. Mueller Denver, Colorado Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Mueller Kaysville, Utah Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Nancy Pace Mueller Kaysville, Utah Audie should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Rob Muller, Civil Servant Pearland, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Marissa Muriel, Army Jr. ROTC Cadet, Ellison High School Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Audie W. Murphy Independence, Missouri The United States Postal Service should be ashamed of itself for not honoring America's most decorated hero with at least one commemorative stamp. Yet you have the audacity to commemorate a cartoon character with a stamp. For shame, just think about it. This action leaves me speechless, you should be embarrassed to no end!!!
Christine Murray Mt. Pleasant, Texas Audie should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dennis Murphy, Citizen Sioux Falls, South Dakota Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
