It is disgraceful that we have the opportunity to display a reminder of
a man of such fine character and have not done so. Come on, let's get
this done.

Audie Murphy should be honored on a commemorative stamp.

Its time we should honor Audie Murphy with a commemorative or series of
stamps.

I served my country in the U.S. Army for three years. It appears that
Bugs Bunny is more important than those of us who wore the uniform. No
one served this country better than Audie Murphy and he certainly deserves
to be honored with a commemorative stamp. As a matter of fact it is
LONG PAST DUE FOR THIS GREAT AMERICAN HERO.

Stamps have been issued to Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, etc. These
people gave entertainment but never risked their lives for this country.
Audie Murphy was forced to push his way into the military and served
valiantly. Now, Bugs Bunny is considered worthy enough for a stamp but
not Audie Murphy. Who may I ask is against an Audie Murphy stamp?
Someone should be ashamed of themselves!

Honoring our American heroes ... men and women who've put their lives on
the line for all of America ... is the least we can do. It is appalling
that the entertainment field is receiving more honor than our own. What
has happened to our America? Are our memories so short?

I believe Mr. Murphy should have a series of stamps made of him for the
simple fact he was and is a great American Hero. In this time of so
called idols, I wish my children had an idol like him. He deserves it
as much or more than many of the other people on stamps.

I think that it is time the Postal Service honored Audie Murphy with a
commemorative stamp. Considering all that he did to preserve freedom at
grave risk to his own life, that is the least we could do as a country
to remember his great deeds of heroism. He is a much more worthy subject
of a United States postage stamp than Bugs Bunny. I have nothing against
cartoon characters, but to put them on our stamps brings us down to the
level of third world countries who sell their stamps primarily to American
children. You could bring the reputation of the USPS back up a bit by
honoring a real person who greatly deserves such honor, Mr. Audie Murphy.

Audie Murphy should be honored with an entire stamp series.

Sir, I am a veteran of the US Army as were my father and grandfather who
served in Vietnam and World War II. I find it hard to believe that in
this country we can make stamps for sports heroes and musicians, but not
a stamp for the most decorated soldier in this country's history. Men
like Audie Murphy and others risked their lives and many gave their lives
so that you and I can sit at home and use computers such as this one
knowing that we are safe from those who would take our liberties away
from us. Do the right thing sir. Give these men what they are owed.

I believe that Mr. Murphy represents the best of the American ideal: honor,
courage, and integrity. We live in times where the very qualities I
mention are sadly lacking in the people we are supposed to hold in highest
regard. Our children have very few people in any field, be it religion,
politics, sports, music or what have you, that they can look up to and
see those qualities shining through. I have a five year old son, and
luckily for me at this point in his life he will still sit with me and
watch the old movies, listen to good music (country, classic, big band),
and it will hopefully instill in him something better than the "Me First"
money-grubbing attitude of so many people today.
Mr. Murphy did more for his country and his family and his friends than
I can ever hope or dream of doing. He did more than many people who have
already been "immortalized" on stamps of their own. I believe that Mr.
Murphy deserves at the very least a commemorative stamp but would be
better served by a series, showing him in the many capacities of which
he was capable.
