Name Location Comments
John L. MacArthur, Veteran Silver Spring, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jim Madden, Veteran Bayside, New York I can't think of a more appropriate American than Audie Murphy to receive this honor. His achievements as a young soldier during World War II should be known to all Americans and such an honor in his memory would do us all a lot of good. Much thanks.
Mike Maddox, War Veteran Houston, Texas With the present morality and so many foreigners wanting to tear down the most wonderful country in the world, we need to get this man's background out to the public. Then set up a foundation with free tickets to several poor countries. This will bring people out of the woodwork to let them see how good we have it here and why so many men were willing to die to keep it.
Maria Christina Mairena Manassas Park, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Lawrence W. Maletta, Veteran Naitck, Massachusetts Without the heroism of men like Audie Murphy you would not have the cartoon characters to put on silly stamps because you would not have the freedom of choice to do so.
Ron Malone, Veteran Spokane, Washington If any American deserves to have a stamp honoring them it must be Audie Murphy. I am not in the minority in this believe as evidence by the fact that Audie Murphy's grave at Arlington is visited by so many exceeded only by the tomb of J.F.K. Thank you for your consideration in this very important matter.
P. Mapoles, Teacher P.C., Florida If we should ever teach our youth about honor, bravery, and love of country, it is now! Audie Murphy needs to be honored for the hero he is!
Thom March, Citizen Murphys, California I believe a stamp in honor and memory of this great war hero is long overdue.
Claire Marche, Civil Servant (Not Given) Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Ray Mariano, White Collar Worker Canastota, New York The very LEAST we should do to honor this war hero is to style a stamp series after him. After all, his record of heroism speaks for itself.
Lawrence J. Marino, Reservist, Armed Forces Newhall, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mike Marshall, Veteran Steger, Illinois Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Ranny L. Martin Fairfield, Iowa Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Scott S. Martin, Citizen Hixson, Tennessee With cartoons on stamps, don't you think that Audie Murphy needs a stamp of his likeness on it? What did Bugs Bunny do for America?
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.
Al Martinez, Retired Army Pasadena, California A commemorative stamp series would be ideal if it would include EVERYONE who received the medal of Honor. They did not ask for the medal, they did not WIN the medal. Their country expected nothing less and they gave what was demanded and more! So why have these brave men not been recognized in the one way that will show America that they have not been forgotten. A series of stamps.
Mark L. Martinez, War Veteran Riverview, Florida I can't believe you won't issue a stamp collection of Audie L. Murphy! When people think of a war hero, they think of John Wayne and unfortunately Audie Murphy is forgotten. For he was a TRUE war hero and was a great person as a soldier and citizen!! It is a tragic shame that such a great person can be forgotten by few; however, I am not one of them. An Audie Murphy stamp collection is well over due.
Pat Mason (Not Given) I think that Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Shannon K. Mason, Student, College Fort Hood, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michael D. Matthews, Civil Servant Vancouver, Washington Audie Murphy is one of the great heroes of U.S. history, not only in his military career but also his personal life. He deserves to be recognized as such by honoring him on a commemorative stamp. Besides being a civil servant, I am also a stamp collector. I believe Mr. Murphy's image as an addition to the commemorative issues is appropriate. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Eric S. Maude, Reservist Armed Forces Austell, Georgia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
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 car.
Richard L. Maynard Lexington, Kentucky Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
George McAuliffe, Retired Army Newport News, Virginia Audie Murphy was not only a war hero but also a humble person of fine upstanding morals. He is truly a person young (all) Americans should be aware of, and a man for us to "try" to emulate.
Gerry McCarthy Duarte, California I think he is more deserving than the movie stars you awarded a stamp to!!
Joseph P. McCarthy, Citizen Westtown, Pennsylvania This is one person who deserves the honor.
Angelyn McCaulla, Patriot Winona, Mississippi Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joe McClendon (Not given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John E. McClure, War Veteran Chandler, Arizona Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Nancy McCollum, Citizen Wellford, South Carolina Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

Gerry McDonnell, White Collar Worker Maple Shade, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Shannon D. McDuffie, Blue Collar Worker Madison, Alabama Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James L. McGehee, War Veteran Stockton, California I think Americans should honor their war heroes with respect and gratitude for what they have done for their country. I think Audie Murphy is very deserving of praise and should have his series of stamps. Our children need heroes like him to look up to. Thank you.
Caroline McGhee ????, Hawaii Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Brian T. McGill, Retired Air Force Plano, Illinois Audie Murphy's service record is enough to qualify him over many who have already been honored with stamps. His movie record should only reinforce his qualifications.
Dusty McGuire, Patriot Geneseo, Kansas I think he should be put on the stamp because he is a symbol of America. He is an inspiration of mine and my generation (age 15). He has shown great American Valor in combat and should be treated like a hero by putting him on the stamp in America's honor.
Debra Mchenry Gosport, Indiana The most decorated soldier of our time deserves to be recognized with his own series of stamps, or at least a commemorative stamp!
Jim McKee Highland Lakes, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Steven B. McKee, Retired Army Logan, Utah Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joseph J. McMenamin, Veteran Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Audie L. Murphy was awarded honors by the USA and France and Belgium for heroic action under extreme battle conditions. While commanding troops when he was but 19 years of age. He alone, among all the other heroic Medal of Honor awardees, stands out as the epitome of the flower of American youth.
Robert K. McQuiston, War Veteran Woodbridge, Virginia We need to honor people like Audie Murphy and not cartoons or spaced out hippies.
Jon L. McReynolds, Citizen Kingsport, Tennessee As the son of a WWII veteran, I feel compelled to write this request to consider creating a stamp series in honor of the late Audie Murphy. His contribution and sacrifice during WWII is a tribute to the TRUE American spirit. It is a disservice to the many WWII veterans and all who have served in the military to not honor this man. Please consider carefully my request and the no doubt countless requests of many others.
Tim McTaggart, White Collar Worker San Jose, California Or how about a "Heroe's of the old West?"
CPT Tim Means, Reservist, Armed Forces Kernersville, North Carolina Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Charles E. Mechling, TMC, USN (Ret) Stockton, California I am deeply concerned that the present stamp series are commemorating popular, rock, or fictional characters who have contributed nothing to our country while the truly great heroes, such as Lt. Audie Murphy are being forgotten.
Thomas D. Meeks, Citizen Kensington, Maryland Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Thomas E. Meeks, War Veteran Woodbridge, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Carl Meiss Camp Hill, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should have been considered for a commemorative stamp series long before this. He is more deserving of this honor than any past or present American.
Joe Messina, Civil Servant Monson, Massachusetts Audie Murphy lived a significant part of this country's history. He deserves to be honored with a series of stamps. In fact, I would like to order the first 10 commemorative sheets.
Rolando Mezquita, Movie Fan Loxahatchee, Florida Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Pat Mielke Easthampton, Massachusetts The ignoring of honoring Audie Murphy by not issuing a stamp series is absolutely absurd. I for one HATE to see/use stamps of movie stars, singers, cartoon characters, etc. THEY do not belong on a United States stamp. ONLY people, places, and events related to OUR history should be honored ... and the argument that movie stars, singers, cartoon characters, etc. are ... is ludicrous!
Gareth N. Miller, Worker Sterling, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jay W. Miller, Citizen Downey, California If ever an American hero deserved to be honored with a stamp Audie is our man.
Martha E. Miller, Professional Belleville, Illinois AUDIE MURPHY SHOULD BE HONORED WITH AN ENTIRE STAMP SERIES. He is a MAN that well deserves recognition. It is so embarrassing to have a stamp out for Bugs Bunny while ignoring a HERO. Not only is he known in our country (USA), he is also known in other countries. In the Phillippines, as a very young girl, I was first introduced to him by my father through his movies and later learned more about Lt. Murphy. I have taken the time to educate my children about Audie Murphy. Bugs Bunny, they enjoy on saturday mornings when they were children. My thoughts to you ......
Randy Millican, War Veteran Cedar Hill, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Cletis Millsap, Elected Official Sulphur Springs, Texas I believe Audie Murphy should be honored with a series of stamps along with Carlis T. "Nugie" Rowe and the Dowdy brothers who all served with honor in WWII.
Thomas L. Miller, Veteran Portage, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series! BUGS BUNNY can wait! This is an insult.
Jess Minton Arlington, Texas I can't believe that a stamp hasn't been dedicated to Audie already!!
Sam Minton Wilkesboro, North Carolina If we can put Bugs Bunny on a stamp then by all means this national hero should be on a stamp.
Thomas Minuchi Delran, New Jersey Audie Murphy is a true American hero and should be an inspiration to those who value the best of human qualities. He certainly deserves a commemorative stamp more than a rock star or a flower.
Clement R. Mioskie, Disabled Vet Allentown, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Gerry Mitchell Ft. Collins, Colorado Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Glenn L. Mitchell Gardena, California Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
David Mocarsky Warwick, New York Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Anna Marie Mollo, Citizen Sterling, Virginia Let's give credit where credit is due. Bugs Bunny did not put his life on the line for this country. Our Congressional Medal of Honor awardees did. It is more appropriate that they be recognized and honored by a postage stamp series. Please take immediate action to make this happen.
Willie Montemayor, Senior Citizen Brownsville, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Elaine Monterroso Arlington, Texas I find it hard to believe that Audie Murphy has never been honored with a U.S. stamp. The country has overlooked its most decorated hero, a fine man and a wonderful role model. No one is perfect, but Mr. Murphy's combination of patriotism, grit, and determination to succeed against all odds is an example for anyone to follow.
William R. Montone, War Veteran (Not Given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Tom Moody Lathrop, California With all the people so honored, we must add this genuine AMERICAN HERO to this list.
Rich Mooney, Retired Army Sarasota, Florida If a stamp series can be dedicated to a junkie like Elvis Presley, surely a true American Hero deserves his own.
Roy S. Moore, Retired Army Lilburn, Georgia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Michelle Moorefield, College Student Coral Gables, Florida Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Moran, Student Michigan Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

Phillip J. Moreno, Retired Army Anderson, South Carolina Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Travis C. Morgan Watertown, New York We must, are we to remain strong, embrace our military heritage, never allowing our greatest to slip into the past. They must always be remembered, for it is they who purchased our freedoms!
David J. Morien Medina, New York Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Charles Anthony Morris, Educator Hiram, Georgia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Morris, Veteran Butte, Montana Served in the same regiment and think you are correct in your analogy.
George T. Morrison (Not Given) Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Nancy Morse Kennett, Missouri Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Richard Mosely, Professional Sugar Land, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Gerald F. Moses, Disabled Vet Madison, Florida Bugs Bunny??? Get real and do the right thing.
Mrs. Charlie Mae Moses, Movie Fan Newark, New Jersey THE TIME IS NOW!
Tim Mueller, Police Officer Lebanon, Oregon Audie Murphy reflects what is buried deep within all Americans: a greatness brought forth by terrible circumstances. In an era where TRUE heroes are at a minimum and so desparately needed, its time that some were recognized and remembered, even if only one a simple postage stamp. Americans can be proud of such men as Major Audie Murphy and he deserves this tribute.
Max R. Mull, War Veteran Reno, Nevada Audie Murphy was a true American hero and his service to our country should be commemorated!!
Rob Muller, Civil Servant Pearland, Texas Let's give a real hero a stamp for a change!
Peter Mulligan, Veteran King of Prussia, Pennsylvania Every Memorial Day there should be a series of stamps recognizing individual Medal of Honor winners. If we can honor Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe how can we not honor our individual heroes and preserve their contributions and preserve their memory for those contributions?
James V. Mullin Moorestown, New Jersey You have honored several American generals who commanded forces in WWII but never an enlisted man. There is no better choice than Audie Murphy.
Brian Mundie, Fire Fighter Drums, Pennsylvania Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John Mundt, Citizen Mokena, Illinois Please make the Audie Murphy series. He was an excellent soldier and if Elvis, who only shook his hips and sang, has a stamp, then a man who fought for his country valiantly and was shot in the hip deserves 1,000 stamps to his name.
Loretta Munger Billings, Montana Audie Murphy is in the true sense an American hero. His image deserves to be embodied on a series of stamps.
Marissa Muriel, Student Killeen, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Audie Murphy, Veteran Fort Worth, Texas Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
David Murphy, Citizen Townsend, Massachusetts Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Dennis Murphy, Citizen Sioux Falls, South Dakota Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
George E. Murphy Dover, Deleware We should honor Audie Murphy with a commemorative stamp at the very least. He is one of our greatest heroes and deserves the recognition.
Joseph B. Murphy, Professional Arlington, Virginia I urge you to honor Mr. Audie Murphy with the issuance of a commemorative stamp. If Elvis can get his picture on a stamp, certainly Audie Murphy is entitled to one.
Kenneth E. Murphy, Citizen Mansfield, Louisiana Audie Murphy's service to our country deserves to be honored on a commemorative stamp. It is imperative that the youth of today are made aware of his special contribution to their freedom.
Conor Murray, Fan Belfast, Ireland I have always thought Audie Murphy would have been shown with respect in a stamp series. It is bad that a war hero and actor is behind a cartoon.
Florence E. Murray Pitman, New Jersey Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James E. Murphy Fairfax, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Mrs. Marilyn Murphy, Relative Magalia, California Audie Murphy & men like him who fought for our country should never be forgotten. They are part of our nation's history. Men of this caliber should be an example to our youth. As the most decorated soldier in World War II, his name should always be remembered in reverence.
William P. Murray, Jr., War Veteran Pitman, New Jersey I personally feel it is an outrage and a misrepresentation of American sentiments to choose to honor a cartoon character, and to choose NOT to honor one of America's greatest heroes. Please right this wrong ....
Fanny Myers, Fan Bloomington, Indiana Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Judy L. Myers Garrett, Pennsylvania I think that Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Mark E. Myers Arlington, Virginia Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
