Support Our Troops Stamp USPS
In October 2009 Canada Post will be issuing a stamp honoring the sacrifice of Canadian War Heroes this happended due to an online petition started on this site which eventually turned in to a letter writing campaign to the stamp committee. There have been over 4000 US Soldiers killed in Iraq since 2001 and almost 800 soldiers killed in Afghanistan. There is talk on some of the US Media outlets of putting out a stamp honoring the "King" of pop. Well how about a stamp honoring our true heroes that make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. By signing this petition you are sending a request to the United States Postal Service to issue a stamp honoring American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and those ready to go that are posted at home. By issuing this stamp, imagine the pride our soldiers will feel when they get a letter from home with a Support Our Troops Stamp on it. When we first did the petition to Canada Post I had gotten emails from two people who said this will NEVER HAPPEn as they have been trying to get stamps for various things released for about seven years. Well it took us 6600 signatures, and a letter writing campaign and it was announced after only seven months that the stamp is coming out in October of 2009. So sign the petition, send it to all your friends and lets see if the United States Postal Service will step up and give our heroes the honor they deserve. Dave Murphy Thankasoldier.net
