Comment:
Me and My husband, Norris Bailey have always loved Audie Murphy. Norris watches his movies over and over again. I purchased for him, when the commerative Audie Murphy Rifle came out and he has it and it has not and never will be fired. It is highly decorated with a lot of Audie Murphy himself. He adores this rifle because he was in the Air Force himself from 1954 to 1958. Also in Huntsville,Tx. a Lt. Col M.B. Etheredge a hero in World War II. He spent four years in Africa, Italy and France during the war. He was awarded three Silver Stars-the nations third highest military decoration for valor-two Bronze Stars for heroism and two Purple Hearts for being wounded. Audie Murphy spent his last part of his military under Col. Etheredge. Very interesting gentlemen and he just passed away Thursday, May 15, 201 at the age of 98. I did some volunteer work at the Veterans Museum in Huntsville,Tx. for awhile and got to meet this gentlemen and He has written a book and has DVD's out which are carried at the Veterans Museum in Huntsville,Tx. Very interesting man and was sharp as a tack until just before he passed away. Added: May 18, 2014

I met Audie Murphy, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, when he was touring with the promotion of his movie "To Hell and Back". He was a very gentle gentleman who took time to shake the hand of a very young, wide-eyed boy. My dad, a WWII vet, took me to meet him at the airport. Audie Murphy, Alvin York and all the others who faced Hell for us are national treasures. Added: May 17, 2014

I have from a very young age been a fan of Audie Murphy movies. I must confess I only knew a little of his military life until these past few years. My interest in Audie Murphy was reawakened this very night by an amazing book I've just finished reading. The author of this book, Lone Survivor, mentioned Audie Murphy by name more than once; so here I am on the internet looking for information on Mr. Murphy's military career. I am so happy that Audie Murphy is not forgotten and am honoured to sign this memorial guestbook. Thank You Kathy Added: May 17, 2014 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts
