A true Texas & American hero.A family man who cared deeply for his family and his country. I first saw " To Hell and Back " in the early 1950's with my Dad. It has been my favorite war movie since that time. My wife and I visited his grave site in 1998 after my son in law graduated from the Naval Academy. Added: May 27, 2015

Thank you for the great source of information about Audie Murphy. He rode in a parade in Corsicana TX right after the war. The rodeo producer provided matching white horses for rodeo dignitaries, flag carriers, etc. He ask my mom to change horses with him because she had a better horse. My mom would not do it, for she too, knew she had the better horse! I used to sponsor my school's trip to DC annually and I always had my kids stop and we honored him at his gravesite. Thank you for the information. Becky Burns Superintendent, Mildred ISD 5475 S. Hwy. 287 Corsicana, TX 75109 Added: May 26, 2015

One of my two favorite heroes of WW II, Audie and George Smith Patton Jr. I thank the Lord for both, as well as many other greats of the past. Major Murphy was my hero growing up. Great man all around. Once worked with one of Patton's Ghost Troopers, Oscar Deines of Ks. When I asked if he seen Patton, he stated that he could of spit in his face twice. Oscar said that Patton inspected the boys before and after they crossed the channel. After being inspected by the General in England, Oscar said that after, the man walked back out in front and stated that 'there wasn't a man among us'. Oscar was a driver in Shermans, then got his wish to be a cook and get out of the driver's seat. He regretted it. He said he was shelled worse than being out in front. Oscar had five battle stars. Good folk. It was the people of WW II that drove me to stay and retire out of the mil and work as an uncivil servant. Added: May 25, 2015 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

Audie Murphy was a movie star when I was a young boy and we grew up watching his western movies. My father enlightened my brothers and me that Audie was the most decorated soldier of WWII. When I watched "To Hell and Back" I had a entirely new respect for Audie. He was never flashy or disrespectful to anyone any I still hold him in the highest regard. He served his country with honor! It is shameful his memory and what he did defending this country and freedom the world enjoys to this day. I support this endeavor to bring his accomplishments and his memory back to this country's mindset. He deserves no less!
