57 years, he was a mainstay of true country music for generations.  
His country should remember his contributions to our culture with a 
postage stamp.

Yours truly,

Dear Stamp Committee Members.

Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music, is one of the only American 
musicians to originate a separate and distinct genre of music.  His 
contributions to our culture must be remembered by the country that 
he loved.  A commemorative postage stamp would be an appropriate and 
fitting honor to his memory.

Thank you.
