I would like to see a stamp for US Highway Route 66. It was commissioned in 1926 and was the first "hard road" to be paved end to end. It stretches from Chicago IL to Santa Monica, CA through 8 states and nearly 2,440 miles. It has been popularized in literature (The Grapes of Wrath), film (Easy Rider), and song (Get Your Kicks on Route 66). It has been called the Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and the Main Street of America. Thousands of people travel it each year from all over the world.
