For some 5 years the BoSox Club has been working on the task of requesting the U.S. Post Office to
issue commemorative stamps in honor of Ted Williams as a tribute to his memory. Having served in two
wars and having achieved the admiration of many Americans, we feel that Ted should be honored as a
great man for his work in the Marines, the Jimmy Fund and his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
As you may know this has been done for such players as Ruth, Mantle, Clemente and a few others. The
original postal regulations stated that they cannot issue any stamps in Ted's honor until the 10th
anniversary of his passing, July 5th 2012, and that date is our target.
The Bosox Club has the support of the Williams family and the Boston Red Sox. However, we need the
support of the membership and as many citizens as possible from around the country in this endeavor.
Please contact your friends, relatives; working associates, politicians and anybody you think can
help us out, especially those outside New England.
Letters in support of this proposal need to be written now to:
Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee
c /o Stamp Development
United States Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Room 5670
Washington, DC 20260-3500

I have included a letter for
you to print out, sign and add your address then send in, or if you
prefer, you can write your own individual letter to the US Postal Service. Either way, we would be
grateful if you would participate. The number of endorsements from around the country is
important. Also, please contact us by
e-mail so we can keep tract of the number of supporters.
