I met Audie Murphy on the movie set, Return to Bloody Beach, and also lived in his home town of Greenville, TX. And you know, I didn't even know he was such a hero, because Audie L. Murphy was just an ordinary man who only did what was asked of him. That was the person I met, and I will always remember him as the quiet man. Added: December 30, 2013

I would just like to say thank you to Mr. Murphy for his extraordinary service to our country. I feel like he would have contributed much more had his life not been cut short. I am a proud Texan,and Mr. Murphy's actions only serve to increase that pride. He is a great American and Texan ! Added: December 30, 2013 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

I sort of remember hearing about and seeing movies of Audie Murphy when I was growing up...I was born in Jan '45. When I went into the Army as a 2nd Lt in late 1969, my first station after officer basic school at Ft Know was Kitzingen, Germany. My unit was 1st Bn 64th Armor. Our sister unit on the base was 1st Bn 15th Infantry...which was Audie's unit in the war. We were still under the 3rd Infantry Division. I wore the same '3rd ID' patch that he did. I just happened to watch his movie "To Hell and Back" last night...Jan 2, 2014...and it brought back memories of my military days in Germany in the early 70's. I was there at the time Audie was killed in the plane crash, although I don't think I heard about it. He was a true American hero.
Strange, while I was on station there, the 1/15th found and dug up a WW11 German half-track and restored it. It was an honor to be co-existing with the same unit Murphy served in.
