Bill Wilson has helped millions of people get sober. He and Dr. Bobbe should both be on a USA forever postage stamp.

I am a life long stamp collector and dealer. Furthermore, I am Board certified in three specialties. As a physician-philatelist, I heartily endorse the Bill W. Stamp Project.

Very few people have impacted so many the way Bill W. did. This would be a fine way of acknowledging his contribution to world well-being.

Bill Wilson & Dr. Bob...co-founders of AA both deserve to be commemorated on a postage stamp. The 80th anniversary of AA is the perfect time to do this. If not now... When? Everyone in the USA has been touched directly or in-directly by the disease of alcoholism or substance abuse. All persons in recovery and their family members owe a bit of gratitude to Dr. Bob & Bill Wilson.
