I have seen the movie, To Hell and Back so many times , I could not count them all. When the young people need to look for role models, this man was a hero in every sense of the word. I watched just as many westerns. A man to be remembered and honored. May God hold you in the palm of his hand. Added: April 25, 2013

I just finished reading Audie's biography and saw so many similarities to my life excluding war experience as I am 10 years younger than he would have been as I am 78 and was drafted during the Korean War and saw no combat as a truce was in effect 2 months later. But I did see combat in the form of major riots in 1968 as a firefighter in D.C. at that time. We were being shot at while fighting numerous explosions and fires and was critically injured as we were fighting with water hoses and firefighting training skills. I was retired January 1, 1969 due to injuries acquired in the line of duty. Another similarity was I resembled Audie and many of my co-workers and friends were calling me "AUDIE" by name right after I got out of the military in 1956. At the time I really did not to much about him except for western movies he was filming at that time. I've been to his gravesite two times and both times felt like I was standing on sacred ground. He, been gone quite a while but he is still missed by any red blooded AMERICAN!! Added: April 25, 2013

Dear Sirs, I read Audie's book "to hell and back" when I was a kid of 10 or 11. Raised in a military family with a military history going back to the Civil war (both sides), Audie became my hero,even above John Wayne. 9 months ago, I uploaded his movie to you tube, because with all the wars we'd become involved in. I felt it necessary that all Americans be reminded of what a true American Hero was. Someone who did their job because it was the right thing to do. Not for the glory. I uploaded it because I could not find it anywhere to rent or watch it. I didn't even think about copyright infringement. I thought the story was more important. But because I did that universal filed a complaint against me, causing me to lose most of my privileges on you tube. They didn't even ASK me to remove it,just forced you tube to suspend me. If made aware of the copyright, I would have removed the movie. I never meant no harm, only to honor Audie's memory and sacrifices. So to you, I apologize for any harm caused. I meant only respect for America's GREATEST HERO. Sincerely yours, Franklin E. Christman II Added: April 25, 2013 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

Hi!
Audie was "My Childhood Hero".
I can't think of anyone better to have as such!
I grew up on a Small Farm just a few miles from
the location where Audie left to "Go Home".
The following is an actual account of that Day!
I was outside with My Rifle(a Stick)in hand,and
My paperback copy of "To Hell And Back" in My right
hip pocket! I was just a young boy imagining that
I was Audie Murphy fighting My way to VICTORY!
The fighting was getting brutal,when My Dad came
down the road and pulled in the driveway,upon
departing His truck,I quickly moved in and shouted
"Get against The Wall and place Your Hands behind
Your Head" or I'll turn You into Swiss Cheese!
This is when Dad told Me that He had heard where
Audie Murphy had just died in a Plane crash on
the side of The Mountain just a few miles away!
I don't need to tell You how I felt!
I grew up and went on to become a Decorated Veteran
in The U.S. NAVY.
Audie was not only My HERO,but a "Great Inspiration".
