After seeing "To Hell And Back", I knew I wanted to serve my country too. I joined the USAF, but did not go to VietNam and Laos till 67, 68, 69. After 12 years, I got tired of seeing friends and associates slaughtered. I became a Deputy Sheriff for four years, then went to the Police Dept. After 23 years a drunk broke my back, and here I set. I never forgot Audie's devotion to duty. In my small way, I tried to emulate Audie. I cried the day I heard he was killed. There will never be anyone even close to his devotion to God and country. We HAVE had many heroes, since, and thank God for them! Added: May 18, 2012

I met Audie Murphy when i was 12 years old in Waco, Texas. I had seen his movie "To Hell and Back" and he became my hero. My dad heard he was in town and took me out of school to meet him. He took time to chat with a me for about 5 min and I felt he cared that I wanted to meet him. After all these years I remember that day and the positive impact it had on my life. God Bless him and men like him! John Added: May 17, 2012

You probbly wont print this today where I have already written but maybe put it on May 17 - however I did read that there will be a ceremony at the Arlingotn National Cemetary on Monday May 28th 2012 Memorial Day at 11 am at the tomb of the unknown soldier with the laying of a wreath and concert - and this is the date that Audie died in 1971 - May 28th (also his mom's bday) just wanted to remind Audie's fans of this perhaps they will show this on a tv news show - a special remembrance for me of Audie Murphy and of course for all veterans that day Added: May 16, 2012

I have written before and today I read that the President will give the Medal of Honor to a Vietnam hero who died so wife and family will receive this medal. Will he therefore ever give Audie Murphy The Presidential Medal of Freedom to his two living sons? Isn't it time. Why can someone like Bob Hope - whom I admire and who did entertain the troops, be given such an honor and Audie a hero who is now dead 41 years never attained this award which he certainly deserves. I just dont understand how this could happen Also again I keep watching Audie on Whats My Line video and what a humble person - he never ever answered any questions pertaining to his medals the writeups on him after war etc instead the host did all the answering. Audie Leon Murphy a sharecropper's son with that innocent face - he can never ever be replaced - his life was cut short way to early - for all he did he deserved a longer life. Thank you for this site it is quite a tribute! Added: May 16, 2012 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

It is my pleasure and my honor to sign Mr. Murphy guestbook and to say that I have been an dedicated fan of Audie Murphy movies down thru the years and I've always liked his ways and smile. I was in the Air Force for 22 years and I finally got an assignment to Wash. D.C., and the first chance I got I went to Arlington Cemetary to see Mr. Murphy's grave and I was deeply touched and sadden to see his headstone there and I ..I...Just cried!!
