Juan Salas, Student	Edinburg, Texas	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Johnny M. Sample	Bennington, Oklahoma	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Wanda L. Sanchez	Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Our most decorated U.S. soldier and no stamp. Let's remember our heroes and role models. Why waste stamps on those we would not want to be role models for our children?
Pamela Sand, Citizen	Seattle, Washington	It's past time for an entire stamp series to be dedicated to this outstanding citizen and person.
Monica L. Sandoval, Reservist Armed Forces	San Antonio, Texas	I think this is an excellent idea ... if not belated.
Mark Sanford	(Not Given)	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Lisa R. Sanning, Professional	Jefferson City, Missouri	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Joe Santia, Fire Fighter	Ontario, California	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Vicki Santora	Braddock, New Jersey	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Sarah, 11th Grade	Bayonne, New Jersey	Audie Murphy DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED AND H0NORED with his own stamp series.
Norman D. Sather, Jr., Active Army	Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri	As a military soldier I think that Audie Murphy should be granted a stamp series as well as a commemorative collection for his undying effort to ensure that the American way of life would continue.
Marietta Satifka, Veteran	Washington, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy was there for the United States when it called. Let these same Unived States honor Audie Murphy as we reach the year 2000.
Ladonna Sawyer, Blue Collar Worker	Brookville, Ohio	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Pamela Sayre, Citizen	New Haven, Kentucky	As an American citizen, I think the United States Postal Service should honor America's most honored soldier with a complete stamp series. If we can honor a cartoon mouse, and a known drug addict singer, we can honor a REAL HERO.
James Michael Scarborough	Huntsville, Alabama	If cartoon characters can be featured on official U.S. postage stamps, surely one of America's greatest heroes can be so honored.
Stanley Schaeffer	Dimmitt, Texas	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
William J. Schaff, Jr.	Providence, Rhode Island	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Richard Schafrick, Citizen	Meriden, Connecticut	I strongly urge that Audie Murphy be honored with a commemorative stamp. It dismays me to think that the USPS takes the time and money to print stamps "honoring" such heroes as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck while refusing to honor a real American Hero. Being 36 years of age, I know only of Mr. Murphy's heroism through what I have researched. It is time that this country honors Mr. Murphy's memory before he is forgotten.
Trevor P. Scheldrake, Active Army	Fort Stewart, Georgia	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John R. Schill, Retired Army	El Paso, Texas	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Robert Schlemmer, Worker	Houston, Texas	The quiet hero - we need Audie as an example.
Chris Schlotterbeck, Active Army	Sacketts Harbor, New York	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Chris Schmidt, Student: 10th Grade	(Not Given)	It is extremely rare that anyone pay attention to the words of a 10th grade student (I felt it was my duty to point out my age and steer clear of deception). If nothing else, though, I hope that you realize the serious lack of patriotism here in the U.S. and use your influential position to fight against the universally passive stance of the people with regard to national pride. No one salutes the flag any more; maybe they would if they thought the most decorated veteran of all time was worthy of a POSTAGE STAMP, for Pete's sake. Give me a break. Give the man at least as much credit as an imaginary, anvil-dropping cartoon bunny.
GySgt. John Schmitt, Retired Marine Corps	????, Maryland	Beats the hell out of having to buy Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck stamps.
Ronald Schmidt, Veteran	Dallas, Texas	Every Medal of Honor recipient deserves a stamp and Audie Murphy being much more, deserves a series.
Robert G. Shortemeyer, Police Officer	Middletown, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Albert Schramm, Veteran	Ellicott City, Maryland	Audie Murphy stands as an exemplary American, one who moved forth to be counted at a time when he was needed desperately. We can commerate Hollywood idols, rock musicians, and sports figures. We should put the emphasis where it right ought to be: on a genuine hero. I served with the 3rd Inf. Division.
Steven P. Schripsema, Educator	Albuquerque, New Mexico	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Kerwyn Schroeder, Active Army	Walthourville, Georgia	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Carolyn C. Schul, Citizen	Hamilton, Ohio	I think that Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
John C. Schultz, Fan	West Seneca, New York	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
SGT William J. Schumaker, War Veteran	Ozark, Missouri	I knew who Audie Murphy was by the time I was 8 years old. Now at 28 and a Gulf War Vet, his memory is forever with me. I joined the infantry when I turned 17 to be like him and the high standards he stands for. Every grunt I know knows Audie and so will my 3 boys. This is the BEST stamp idea I have seen next to the other war stamps. the country needs heroes now more than ever and this in my view is right on target!!
Alan R. Schutte	Cincinnati, Ohio	How about a series on war heroes?
David P. Schwartz, War Veteran	Olympia, Washington	It is time, in this day of little morality, honesty, and integrity, and with the scruples of this country nearing rock bottom, being led by a dope smoking, draft dodger, liar that a true hero be honored by way of a commemorative stamp series. Do one on George Bush too.
Rick Schwindt	Alexander, Kansas	Have you lost your mind? People like Mr. Murphy are the reason the rest of us are able to do the things we enjoy because of their willingness to die for what they believe in.
Steven M. Scott	Waldorf, Maryland	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Ted M. Scully, II; Active Army	Raeford, North Carolina	Americans need more heroes like Audie Murphy. If the U.S. Postal Service does a series on cartoon characters and dead drug addicts, why not do a series on America's most decorated war hero? He was a legend in his own time, an accomplished actor, writer of country and western songs, and poet. He served this great country with pride and epitomizes the term selfless service. GIVE HIM A STAMP SERIES.
Joel Alman Seagal, Professional	Bensalem, Pennsylvania	To whom it may concern. He does deserve this. He was a true American Hero.
Charlie Seamon, Blue Collar Worker	New Albany, Pennsylvania	He deserves it.
Jim Search, Police Officer	Sweet Home, Oregon	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

Dan Sesmundo, Blue Collar Worker	San Diego, California	I think that Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Steven Severino	Las Vegas, Nevada	Hi, I'm Steven Severino. Audie Murphy is my favorite war hero. He was the most decorated soldier of World War II. He deserves to be honored more. This will help America know the great soldier more. Thank you.
Linda A. Seward	Richmond, California	I think that Mr. Murphy is an outstanding candidate for a stamp series. An extraordinary "ordinary" man.
Dan Seymour, Active Army	Midlothian, Virginia	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Roy Shanes, Blue Collar Worker	Only, Tennessee	I personally think that Audie Murphy is an American Hero and should be honored with an entire stamp series of his gallantry displayed during WWII in service for his and our country. Thank you.
Carl K. Shannon, Sr., Retiree	Newville, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Benny W. Sharp, Professional	Harvest, Alabama	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Richard Sharp, Citizen	Alexandria, Virginia	If there is a subject that should be covered by a series of stamps, it is our patriots who served our country.
Daniel P. Shaughnasey, Veteran	Hudson, New York	In his short time he was able to be in the US Army he showed true Army spirit. And if we can make cartoons and other things stamps, why over look a great American hero? I was in the 3rd ID in Germany and even in the 70's he was still talked about. Thank you for your time.
Georgette S. Shay	Philadelphia, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
WO1 Craig B. Shelton, Active Army	Fort Myer, Virginia	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
David Shepherd	Mt. Laurel, New Jersey	It is NOW OR NEVER!
Pat Shields, Citizen	San Antonio, Texas	Audie Murphy is a true American hero and should be honored. We put so much emphasis on movie stars and sports figures but HE is a true hero and has done more for this country than any movie or sports star.
Stephen Shillingford, Police Officer	Downingtown, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Karilyn Shipman	????, Arizona	The U.S. Post Office has seen fit to issue stamps honoring such actors as James Dean, Humphry Bogart, and Marilyn Monroe. While it cannot be denied that these people were fine actors, they certainly never were honored by the U.S. Government as Audie Murphy was. It certainly should be mentioned that one of the aforementioned actor's greatest claim to fame was an affair with the President of the United States and his brother, the Attorney General of the United States. This is public knowledge, and surely not something to be proud of. Yet, your office saw fit to honor this person with a stamp. Also, Elvis Presley, while one of the greatest rock and roll singers of all time, had a drug abuse problem so great that he died of it. This is also public knowledge. Your office saw fit to honor him with a stamp. So how can you justify not issuing a stamp for Audie Murphy whose accmplishments were recognized by the U.S. Government by making him the most decorated soldier in any war! He was also an accomplished actor. This fact alone should qualify him for a stamp, as your office has already honored other actors. Shame on you and your office for seeing fit to honor these other people while denying this honor to Audie Murphy. I hope that you will reconsider and give Audie Murphy the commemorative stamp that he truly deserves.
Russell Silberschlag	Tucson, Arizona	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
MSG Lewis W. Silverman, Reservist Armed Forces	Newport News, Virginia	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.

Jill Simpson, Professional	Birmingham, Alabama	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Bruce D. Skrukrud, War Veteran	Minneapolis, Minnesota	No American has ever deserved the honor of a stamp series more than Audie L. Murphy. I most urgently petition the USPS to do so as quickly as possible. Thank you.
Lisa Smalley, Student 9th Grade	Sewell, New Jersey	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
John E. Smathers	Bowie, Maryland	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Anastacia Smith, Student	Bessemer, Alabama	It's unfair and unpolitical to make Bugs Bunny a commemorative stamp before a historical figure who also represented our country. Bugs just humiliated Daffy Duck. Which is also what you are doing to Murphy and our country.
Becky A. Smith	Heber City	Audie Murphy is more deserving of a stamp than a cartoon character is.
C. Ray Smith, Citizen	Spring, Texas	Great Texan and American that deserves to be remembered.
Charles A. Smith, Police Officer	North Charleston, South Carolina	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

George C. Smith	Sayreville, New Jersey	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jon A. Smith	Lowell, Massachusetts	I am an Elvis Presley fan and I appreciate the fact that he has a stamp. I was totally shocked to see that Audie Murphy did not have one. We must remember the people who have come to our great nation's side at its time of need. I believe that Audie L. Murphy is truly one of those people and is worthy of this honor. Thank you.
Paul C. Smith	Sayreville, New Jersey	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Raymond Smith	Glenwood, Maryland	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Scott Smith, Citizen	Ellettsville, Indiana	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Shawn Smith	Gilroy, California	Mr. Audie Murphy deserves the right to be honored on a National level. If other people such as Elvis, Humphrey Bogart, and others can have a stamp for being entertainers then so should Mr. Murphy. He was an American Hero and deserves the honor.
Thomas C. Smith, Senior Citizen	McConnelsburg, Pennsylvania	I would sure appreciate it if you would do your best to honor one of America's greatest heroes in this way.
Alex Sniatkowski, Police Officer	Passaic, New Jersey	There are stamps honoring birds, flowers, fish, and lighthouses, but when it comes to a true American hero, Audie Murphy bears no consideration? How about that!
Mark Sniatkowski, Police Officer	Pompton Plaims, New Jersey	Audie Murphy is an example of what Americans are becoming less and less of: brave and patriotic.
Jean Sobota	Columbus, Nebraska	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Thomas W. Softy	Central Islip, New York	A man who did so much for his country must be honored for his service and a stamp series would be appropriate. Thank you.
Kenneth Soloff, Active Army	Killeen, Texas	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Marguerite Songy, Citizen	Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Of all the people who have ever been put on a stamp, I believe Mr. Audie Murphy should have been one of the first. He probably should have been President but the least he deserves is a commemorative stamp in honor of his heroism. Thanks.
Kenneth W. Southerland, Retired Air Force	Anchorage, Alaska	It is only fitting and proper that Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier in the greatest war of all time, be honored and more importantly, remembered with his own stamp series. Individuals of far less stature have been honored in the past.
John S. Sozio, Citizen	Yonkers, New York	I think that Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Barry Sparks, Professional	York, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Dwight David Spaulding, War Veteran	North Vernon, Indiana	In a day where our kid's heroes make baskets, or make field goals, or wrestle in a ring, I think it is time to honor a man that deserves to be a hero to everyone.
John S. Sperry, World War II Veteran	Owosso, Michigan	Audie Murphy is a great war hero of world war II. Please consider issuing a series of stamps, or a commemorative stamp honoring him for what he has done for his country.
Jill Spitz	Kenosha, Wisconsin	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Jon Sprinkle, Blue Collar Worker	Elyria, Ohio	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Gilbert A. Sprous, Active Army	Wahiawa, Hawaii	With all the people that are awarded a stamp in their memory, I feel that this is a total embarassment. Audie Murphy was a great man in many ways.
Clarence Sprout, Civil Servant	Harrisburg, Pennsylvania	Althoug the postal service issued a stamp for all Medal of Honor winners, I feel Audie Murphy was far above the rest. He set a standard so high that few men could ever duplicate his acts. For this reason, he should have a stamp issued in his honor and his alone.
Yale St. Clair, Citizen	Denver, Colorado	In this country today, we have few real heroes. Mr. Murphy was a great man and a hero. He should be honored.
Valorie Stackpole	Sarasota, Florida	We have too few military people being honored. I believe that Audie Murphy should be put on a stamp. If Bugs Bunny made it on one ..... I would like to say how much I loved seeing the "Women in the Military" series that you had. That was great.
Greg Stafne, Police Officer	Stillwater, Minnesota	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James Starr	Camp Hill, Pennsylvania	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mike Stephany, Reservist, Armed Forces	Chester, Virginia	This effort is well deserved.
Larry G. Stephens, Disabled Vet	Riverside, Ohio	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Victor H. Stephenson, Active Army	Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Robert H. Stern, Veteran	Chantilly, Alabama	As a retired foreign service officer and Air Force veteran I have had the opportunity to see life around the world and to reflect on how lucky I am to have been born an American and to enjoy the rights a priveleges of American citizenship. It was and continues to be men like Audie Murphy who at the risk of and sometimes at the cost of their lives, preserved, protected, and defended those rights. We should not allow the mere passage ] of time to obscure their and his very real deeds. We can never fully repay them. We can remember them with the honor and dignity they deserve. It would be a terrible travesty if men like Audie Murphy were passed over when we have immortalized truly unimportant people like film stars.
Evelyn Steward	Arlington Heights, Illinois	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Curtis L. Stevens, Citizen	Sandston, Virginia	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
James Dean Steward, GySgt, USMC, Ret.	Witchita Falls, Texas	What better way to honor a great American and WWII Hero. Does he deserve any less than Elvis Presley? In fact, he deserves more. He was willing to give all he had in the defense of freedom!
Chuck Stewart, War Veteran	Tucson, Arizona	If the United States Post Office can honor Bugs Bunny I would certainly hope that Mr. Runyon would love his country enough to honor its most decorated war hero. I consider this a slap in the face to all veterans of this country. Then again, judging from the condition of our government perhaps a cartoon character is more appropriate.
Glenn Stewart	Mooresville, North Carolina	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Robert R. Stewart; Retired Army	Harvest, Alabama	As a retired US Army Sergeant, I feel that NOT to honor one of America's greatest soldiers would be an insult to those who have served. If Bugs Bunny somehow deserves it, then definitely Audie Murphy.
John Stieringer, Citizen	Sterling, Virginia	This man is a hero in every sense of the word and preserves recognition. A stamp may spark curiosity in young people who don't know about him.
Ralph Richard Stoddard, Veteran	Katy, Texas	Please put Audie Murphy on a series of stamps. Forget the ridiculous and absurd notion of putting a dumb bunny on a stamp in place of a national hero.
John Stokes, Citizen	Knoxville, Tennessee	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Christopher P. Storzillo, Police Officer	Christopher P. Storzillo, Police Officer	It's about time we honor true American Heroes and not the things that are destroying what these heroes have created with their sacrifices.
Jerry M. Stout, Fan	Lufkin, Texas	I can think of no better way to honor any American such as Audie Murphy who did so much for his country and the American people. Please lets give this American the respect he deserves with a stamp or even a gold coin in his memory.
Desiree Stoy	Mansfield, Ohio	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Daniel Stratton, 12th Grade Student	Orange Park, Florida	Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.
Jan Stromberg	Crystal, Minnesota	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Rachel Hickman Stultz	(Not Given)	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Yesenia Suarez, Student, College	Killeen, Texas	It's way overdue! Don't you think that Mr. Murphy has done more for our country than Mr. Bunny?
Kimberly A. Sullivan	Washington, D.C.	Why can we not honor Lt. Murphy? We had an Elvis tribute - am I missing something?
Lavon Sumner	Bryan, Ohio	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
SGT Curtis R. Swalley, Active Army	Temple, Texas	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Mrs. Nancy Swan	Peoria, Illinois	This would be a lovely commemorative stamp. People need this remembrance.
Ava L. Swanson, Citizen	Allenstown, New Hampshire	Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.
Richard A. Swavely, War Veteran	State College, Pennsylvania	A true American hero to be held up as a role model for young people. A real lesson for patriotism. Everyone should know his story.
Jan H. Sylvester, Citizen	Leesburg, Virginia	Audie Murphy, as the most decorated veteran of all wars, should be honored with a series of stamps. If we can have stamps with cartoon characters, we should have stamps that will teach the un-informed people of today about a great American hero.
Peter Syrett	East Norwich, New York	I know your boss is a no good draft dodger who couldn't possibly appreciate the sacrifices that men like Audie Murphy and millions of other nameless patriotic American men have made but if it is possible to honor cartoon characters then there is absolutely no justification to ignore one of the only true heroes of this century.
