Do you mean something like this?

mp <- barplot( VADeaths[1,], ylim = c( 0 , 18 ) ) 
text( mp , VADeaths[1,] + 0.5 , paste( VADeaths[1,] , "?" ) )

Yes, and many of us also know why doing so is a bad idea.  

This has been discussed before, if you search the archives you can find the full
discussion showing how, why not, and better approaches.
