   My Fellow Citizen:
   My name is Dave Phillips, and I am a former Marine.
   As I am sure you are well aware Audie Murphy is an American legend. He remains America’s Most Decorated Soldier of World War Two, as well as having been a best-selling author, movie star, poet, songwriter, businessman, but above all patriot and a hero for all generations.
   Audie Murphy has been my role model my entire life. He was the perfect role model for the youth of my generation and remains a role model for the youth of today. Unfortunately, many of the youth of today have never heard of him.
   Some years ago, a Petition effort was launched to honor Audie Murphy with a U.S. Postage Stamp. Americans just like yourself banded together and through teamwork and the combined efforts of thousands of your fellow citizens Audie Murphy was finally honored in 2000 with the release of a commemorative U.S. postage stamp.
   It is my desire to see Audie Murphy presented posthumously with our Nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for his dedication to America’s freedom and his lifelong devotion to country.
   I have prepared an online Petition to President Obama requesting that Audie Murphy be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
   The Petition can be found by clicking on the link below:

   or by simply typing the words “Audie Murphy Medal of Freedom” into Google.
   I would be most appreciative if you could once again stand with your fellow citizens and sign the Petition requesting that America’s Most Decorated Soldier, Audie Murphy, be posthumously
   bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
   Thank you for your time, patience, and consideration in this matter.
   Sincerely,
   Dave Phillips
