I watched his movies as a child growing up. They would be on after school. I learned about his military service after seeing the movie based on his book. You would be happy to know a question about this was in Trivial Pursuit. I won the game becuse I knew the answer to the question about it. I have worked with the wife of his nephew and she was proud to display his picture with other photos of other veterans. I was glad to see the web site and I looked it up after reading his book. The book is still in print and can be found at Barns & Noble. Added: May 25, 2015

Audie L Murphy. I had a very similar childhood to Audie and could relate to the hardships in early life. I enjoyed his book 'To Hell and Back' and the movie, infact I enjoyed all his movies. He portrait hangs in my small office at home taking pride of place along with other family Military items. Audie was my hero. Added: May 24, 2015

As a child of the 1960s, growing up on a dirt road in the northern section of Botetourt County, Virginia, I planned out my allotted-television-viewing time by perusing the weekly newspaper insert that listed the 4:30 Early Show schedule. If there was an Audie Murphy movie showing, I completed my chores beforehand, and thankfully, allowed to do homework later! I remember hearing the news on the local a.m. radio station that Audie's plane had crashed in Craig County, just over the mountain! I sat out on the front steps for hours, scanning the horizon, and praying for him to come safely to me. I was all of 11 going on 12 years old in May of 1971. But Audie was "my love." I cried and begged for him to be safe. To no avail. And then, my parents burst my bubble, so to speak, informing me that Audie was close to ten/twelve years older than they. As confirmation of his death became real, I began learning about the true man. And what a great individual was he! About ten years ago, I was able to do visit Audie's grave at Arlington National Cemetery. Just me and Audie. I hope he knows I was there and the impact his life made on mine. My hero. <3 Added: May 24, 2015

I grew up watching and loving Audie Murphy movies. He is one of my favourite movie stars and I still love watching his old movies on TV when one comes on. I was and am aware of his military career and I admire him enormously. All the best to his family and Audie is not forgotten by me that's for sure.
