In June of 1960, Audie L. Murphy came to Kitzingen, Germany to part in a movie for the "Return To The 3rd Division Than And Now". Myself and Merle Spicer of Cedar Rapids, Iowa as 536th Military Police, given the honor of Guarding and Protecting Audie while on the set...an old Air Landing strip Area. Further, we had the priviledge of a photograph which he said, "make it look like you're apprehending me". We lift him off the ground and the photo was shot. Tomorrow, August 4, 2012, I Syl am to present this photo to the Allegheny Kiski Valley Historical Society in Tarentum, PA...a great honor. I felt very close to Audie at that production.

I remember loving to watch the westerns with Audie Murphy as a small child and I also remember my father telling me way back then that he was the most decorated soldier of the war. I have always admired him as an actor then later when the reality of what it meant to be a war hero hit me, with deep respect. I have told my children about him, whether or not they remember I don't know but I have also begun to tell my grand daughter about him too but at 3 she is still far too little to take it all on board now but as she grows whenever she hears she will remember too, I hope.

As a child in the Fifties, one of my heroes was Audie Murphy. My mum, Olive, used to take me to the movies and I loved his films. He always played the quiet, unassuming guy and that always impressed me. So, it was no surprise to me that when I visited Washington with my wife, Pat, in 1998, we paid a visit to Arlington Cemetery and came upon Audie's modest headstone in the midst of some pretty impressive memorials. Apologies for this, but I put my hand on Audie's headstone and said: "Hello, Audie, me and my mum, Olive Corten, loved you very much." It was such a thrill, and if I find myself in Washington again I will do the same thing.
