I just watched "To Hell and Back" again for the first time, since I was a young boy. Audie Murphy's story was mesmerizing when I was studying WWII history. My grandfather also served during the war and needed waivers for his age and weight. Although today's media may not honor his legacy or those brave men during of our "Greatest Generation", true Patriots of our nation will continue sharing their stories. In the Navy, we have this as part of our Sailor's Creed: "I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy, and those who have gone before us to defend freedom and democracy around the world." God Bless Audie Murphy and God Bless the United States of America! Added: September 21, 2014

After updating my tv to get more channels, I came across a specific channel that was showing Audie Murphy movies. Years ago, the TV channels use to carry more westerns and war movies; but, today they don't. I used to sit with my dad and watch westerns and war movies that starred Audie Murphy and other actors and was never embarrased. Today the movies that are out there are violent and gory.

A great man and a great hero! I watched all Mr. Murphy's movies as a child, and read the book 'To Hell and Back! It was excellent. A quiet, shy, gentleman with the heart of a lion! His courage in speaking out about his battle-related issues, and his work on behalf of veterans receiving acctess to mental health services were ahead of his time. I visited his grave while in Arlington. May he rest in peace and may his family always be proud of his accomplishments! Added: September 20, 2014

Having watched and enjoyed many of Audie's westerns I recently had the pleasure of To Hell and Back. Although the movie depicted his life story I feel it didn't do him justice. Imagine if that extraordinary life was portrayed by an actor of our time and the freedom they are given. Steven Spielberg I imagine would do a tremendous job of directing. What a wonderful idea to have a memorial website dedicated to such a brave soldier so he can be remembered for the hero he was. Added: September 20, 2014

I wasn't born until long after the second world war ended and was but a child during the heyday of western movies; however, Audie Murphy was one of my favorite stars of the genre. I don't know for sure how, but I always knew that he was a war hero in real life and that made his movie characters that much more believable and fanciful to me as a young boy. I recall hearing about his death in an airplane crash when I was a teenager; it seemed surreal then and still does somehow today. I have some time on my hands these days and am looking into things that hold meaning for me; Audie's life is one of them and I want to find out all I can about him because I think he was a very special person and the world needs to remember him and others like him. I thank all who are responsible for this memorial to a truly great Man! Added: September 16, 2014 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts
