Comment:
My dad was Audie Murphy, without all the medals. He was born in Kentucky, June 10,1925. He too lied about his age to enlist and was at first turned down by Navy and Marines. He got into the Army, reported to Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis. After basic he was sent to the Pacific where he developed malaria. Shipped home to Fitzsimmons Hospital in Colorado. The was shipped to Germany where he served in Patton's Third Army. He met my mom when he was 19, and she 15. After the war he sent for her in 1948. She flew over on a plane with Eleanor Roosevelt. Mom thought she was a great lady. Dad is now resting together in the beautiful confines of Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Dad always talked about Audie Murphy and his heroics. My dad was my hero! Added: May 16, 2014

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mr Murphy! Actually anyone that has ever Served my country has my respect. I too take satisfaction in being an Honorably Discharged Veteran of the U.S Army 1981-1985 (Field Artillery). My Great Uncle "Oakley O. Cravens" lost his life on 12/25/44 at the Battle of the Bulge. He was interred in Meintz France until he could be exhumed and returned to Pickett County Tennessee where he was laid to rest in the family cemetery.

Just got back from the Colmar Pocket/Holtzwihr where I visited the site of Audie's MOH stand. Very moving. High point of my trip.
