That is always recommended just so that you have all the bases 
covered.  Those letters are copyrighted by the persons who wrote 
them.  When you do so, be sure to make clear to them exactly what you will 
be posting and if that includes their name and contact information.

The last thing you want is for one of these folks to see their words and 
names and feel as though they were not advised first.

HTH!
