Again a wonderful tribute to Audie and hope we will keep him in our hearts on Monday May 28th Memorial Day the day he passed 41 years ago (mom's bday) - I do hope family will place flowers at his grave. As time goes by I keep hoping that with this new election Audie will finally receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom and later the Texas Medal of Freedom - I want to pass a story to you coming to work there was a young uniform soldier in fatigues and I said do you know Audie Murphy his response-- of course I do we have an Audie Murphy Club but civilians will not know him - this is why we have to bring his name back Encore is doing there part but wish they would show some of his younger pix which I missed - anyway God Bless Audie and my thoghts and prayers will be with you this Monday - how I wish I could go back to when you were alive but someone once said show me a hero and I will show you a tragedy!This young man lived a short life and did so much for family comrades and the nation - think of him every day - he can never be duplicated!

I am retired and living in the sun. I'm sat watching an Audie film, Gunpoint. It's a wonderful sunny evening and watching an Audie film makes me feel right at home. In these times of world crisis its nice to have a hero to watch. He was a fine example of good upright man, such a pity the politians don't act in the same manner.

I heard the story of Audie Murphy from my mother when I was a kid. My father was a WW2 combat vet, so maybe I know a little more than most of my generation. I was born in the mid 1960s. In this day & age of 9/11, abuse of power, new world "order" etc. I believe the truth about our past is pertinent. I think every school kid in America should be taught the story of Audie Murphy. I don't know what the future has in store for us, but I'm sorry to have to say it probably isn't pretty. Thank you for keeping the memory of a true American hero alive. Peace. Added: May 21, 2012

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!! Added: May 20, 2012

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 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts

Could not submit this yesterday because I had already written something but I was so disappointed that Audie is behind Ms Criz for the Smithsonian honor - I keep thinking if he cannot capture this award will this country and in particular Texas ever give him that final deserved recognition - as mentioned from converation with the young soldier I met the other day
1. the military remembers him (thank God)
2. the general public - no one knows who he is or was
and that is just not right - he should never be forgotten for all he did God took him at such a young age guess Audie was right when he said - he never felt young! why would he look at all he had to do for his family at a young age I could go on and on - so forgive these constant little blurbs but I wholeheartedly feel not enough has been done to preserve his legacy!
