I have been a fan of Audie Murphy since I was a schoolboy.My earliest memory of seeing him was in Badboy.My local cinemas were The Phoenix [Feeno]and The Broadway and I spent many a Saturday or Sunday watching my hero's,Gene,Roy,Durango Kid etc.Audie was right up there with them as a cowboy idol.He stepped out of charactor in The Unforgiven and gave one of his best proformances.I was greatly saddened by his early death in the 70s but I have some of his movies which I watch from time to time,I pretend I am 12 again and sitting in The Feeno watching my hero.

I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was in fourth grade. He was in Chicago, and for some reason touring a factory where my mother worked. She said "This is Audie Murphy". I did not know who he was. He knew I didn't and laughed with me but not at me. Later mom told me about him. I never forgot that day. Added: May 15, 2013

My wife and I recently visited the Audie Murphy Memorial in Holtzwihr as part of a guided tour offered by Viking Cruises. We found it quite moving since both of our fathers had served as combat infantrymen in the US Third Army under General Patton. Both fought in the battle of the Bulge in the same freeezing weather that Lt. Murphy encountered at Holtzwihr in winning the medal of honor. The memorial is located near a playground where French children were playing as we walked to the memorial. It gave more meaning to the French dedication which concludes: "Visitor, respect this memorial and forget not that these soldiers have died so that you might live FREE. Holtzwihr, 29 January 2000". I think that Lt. Murphy would be gratified to see the children playing while enjoying the freedom that he fought so fiercely to restore. Added: May 13, 2013

Thanks to all of you that are involved with this website. I am a 50 year old Government/History teacher that was raised hearing stories about Audie Murphy from my Dad. My father is a Korean War veteran. Audie was my Dad’s hero and he told me countless stories about him. I always dedicate one day to talk about American Heroes in my classes, and Audie is the lead character of my class lesson. David Runnels Jr. Added: May 13, 2013

I am honoured to pay this small respect to one of my all time heroes I agree his name should never be forgotten as he was a true legend.
