Comment:
I served in the 197th Inf Bde from 1988-1992. During that time, I led a tank platoon in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. After that, the 197th Inf Bde became 3rd Bde, 24th Inf Div. Since I left the Army, 24th Inf Div reflagged as 3rd Inf Div, Audie Murphy's outfit. Proud of that very distant link between me and such a hero. Added: January 26, 2018

I am a British Normandy Veteran 1944, Sherman tank commander and have written books about those battles. I am now writing another book about 20 outstanding heroes of 1944/5 NorthWest Europe. One chapter features Audie whose war fame is largely forgotten in Britain. I want to revive this. I urgently need a photo of Audie for the book. Please advise me. Many thanks.

My mother read the article about Audie in Life magazine when she was a teenager. She was so taken and impressed that she vowed to name her first child, if it was a boy, Audie. In February of 1951 I came into the world and was given this name. I carry it proudly, plus the fact that it is unusual, people ask me about it and it gives me the chance to talk about the great man that I was named after. Added: January 21, 2018

I remember seeing Murph on TV as a kid, and, I made some comment to my dad, while watching Red Badge of Courage, I said, "Who is that guy?" and, my dad said aghast, "Son, you don't know who that is?...that's Audie Murphy." Murphy had some kind of special quality that made me want to read about and understand him. Off and on over the years I'll read a book or story about him or watch "No name on the Bullet" or "To Hell and Back." and it just puts me in this frame of mind that, thru perseverance and courage and blind luck, everything has a way of working out and you just gotta do the best you can and not quit.
