Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Here is a copy of a hand out that I picked up at the Marine Corps
birthday party I just got back from, read it and follow it.
Thanks,
Gus
Postage Stamp For Chesty
Your help and support is needed. Please lend a hand.
The Postal System has yet to approve a stamp honoring Lewis
B. “ Chesty” Puller or any individual Marine for that matter.
Lots of Army, Navy and Air Force members have been honored,
but never and individual Marine. Puller’s military awards and combat
records surely support the issuance of a U. S. stamp honoring him,
as well as the U. S. Marine Corps. Signature sheets with over
155,000 signatures in 1997 did not do the trick nor has repeated
follow-ups made a dent.
It is now time, to pull no punches. We need to lay it on heavy if
we are ever to get the Postal System to issue a stamp honoring
“Chesty”.
The battle has been going for over 6 years now- without an approval
Answer. Lots of “It is under consideration. ” Replies but never an
Approval.
What is needed from you now is a short note on a postcard asking
for approval of the Puller stamp. A message as simple as “It is now
time for you to approve the Puller stamp. ”
Send your cards/messages to the following addresses:
(Don’t try e-mail, they have blocked the system. )
1) Postmaster General 2) Chairperson
U. S. Postal Service Stamp Advisor Committee
475 L’Enfant Plaza, SW U. S. Postal Service
Washington, D. C. 20260-2437 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW
Washington, D. C. 20260-2437
Perhaps if each of you would reach out to everyone you know,
maybe 100 or more (the more the better) of your friends asking
that they send postcards asking for a Chesty Stamp. Also ask
your friends to continue the chain and contact their friends to
also write the Postal Service. The Postal system then might finally
wake up and approve a Puller stamp.
Again, your help is needed now, if we are ever to see a Puller Stamp.
Semper Fi, and many thanks in advance for your support in the past
And hopefully now.
