Members of the Audie Murphy Website; if you should have a chance to see Audie's grave site in Arlington National Cemetery.Simple and like the other simple white stone monuments for most military personnel buried there. It is under an oak tree and has what honors he received, e.g. CMH. At first the monument does not seem appropriate for a man of Audie's statue, yet this is the way he would have wanted.

My first Audie Murphy film was John Huston's version of "The Red Badge of Courage" in high school. When I was in the Army 20 years ago, my platoon sergeant (a female), was chosen to join the Audie Murphy Club. I don't remember the first time I saw "To Hell and Back", but I have watched it and/or shown it to my foreign military students many times since then. They enjoy the film as much as I do. He passed away in the plane crash 2 months after I was born. I have also visited his grave site at Arlington. (I will warn you it's a bit tough to find in spite of it being near the Amphitheater.) I've seen many of his other films. Do you realize that two of his co-stars (in two separate movies), Denver Pyle and James Best, went on to co-star with each other in "The Dukes of Hazzard"? Now that I live in Texas, I hope to visit his museum near his hometown someday. Added: February 24, 2014

I am a retired Navy Master Chief and a veteran of Vietnam. Audie Murphy has always been one of my heroes. I was born in and grew up in Texas. My dad was born June 21, 1925, just one day after Audie Murphy. He also joined the service (Navy) in December 1942. He was born in Daingerfield Texas just a few miles from where Audie was born. I am a teacher now, NJROTC, at a high school for the past 21 years. I teach my classes each year about Audie Murphy. Added: February 20, 2014 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

I just thought Audie was the greatest. I seen his movies in the theatres when I was younger. I still watch them on the stations that show old westerns, often times they show them back to back and I am glued to the tube. I hope his sons fared well. He will always be my favorite star. He made Texas proud. Such a shame that he died so young. May he rest in peace, he deserves it.
