Comment:
My first exoposure to Audie Murphy was in reading, "To Hell and Back" as a very young child. This was the beginning to my desire to serve in the Army, become an officer, and creating a tremendous respect for those who have served and serve now. His story needs to be remembered as do all of our veterans. As each of our WW2 heros are passing on at an alarming rate, we need to capture their stories and give them the honor that is due for protecting our freedom! Added: April 28, 2012

I remember Audie from the news and movies of the 50's and 60's. I grew up in the Army and heard about him from many of my dad's friends. I served in the army myself during the cold war in Germany with Master Sargent Rogers who was a neighbor of Audie Murphy before the war. Rogers himself served in WWII and made it to the rank of Major. He would be retired now and perhaps living in your area. If you know of him perhaps you will share this message with him and extend my thanks for his many stories of Audie and for the outstanding service he himself gave to the United States in three wars.

My father was a Marine, four battles in the Pacific and the last one Guam. Audie Murphy and my father were part of "The Great Generation". Is it that God doesn't build people like that any more or that adversity builds character. That generation had more than their share of adversity, the depresion and WWII. All of my life all of my friends were 20 to 30 years older than me. They seamed to have a code to follow in life. My problem now is all of my friends are dead. I watch Audie Murphy movies over and over. I see that spark of "The Great Generation" in him in every movie. He is a person I truely admire!
