I have been an Audie Murphy Fan and admirer since I was a boy. I loved watching all the old movies staring Audie. In 1976 My brothers, Dad, and I were hunting near Blacksburg, Va when we came upon the Granite marker that told of Mr. Murphy's plane crash. It was a very solemn moment for us all. My Dad was just a boy himself when Audie Murphy was in the war and earned all those honors. A local VFW erected the monument in Mr. Murphy's honor. Added: March 4, 2012

I have read "To Hell and Back" several times; Each time being amazed at Mr. Murphy's courage and fighting ability. I really enjoy this site and especially the photos of the young Murphy family. Mrs. Murphy was a beautiful and warm soul. So tragic that Audie died so young. Best, Rich Added: March 1, 2012

I have watched his movies and knew that he was a highly decorated war hero in WWII, but did not know all of the details of his courageous actions in WWII until I started reading more and more about him. It was no surprise that he suffered from PTSD as my father also suffered from it as he saw action in the Pacific. Drafted out of college at Kansas State while studying to be a large animal vet, he attend OCS and rose to the level of Captain in the Army Corp of Engineers. While serving in the Pacific, he developed underwater welding, but because of the law in the Patent area, he could not claim a Patent on it. He did receive a Silver Star. I will continue to study more about Audie Murphy as his heroics were so tremendous that his memory should be held sacred by all Americans and last forever. All of the men and women who served in the military during WWII should remain in memory of all Americans. Added: March 1, 2012

I'm glad to have found this site. It's wonderful to find something that can tell me more about someone as decorated as Mr. Murphy. I've watched many, if not all, of his western movies and found that he was one fantastic actor. It's too bad that he passed in such a tragic way. I hope to find out more about his career and life.

I have watched and enjoyed many of his movies growing up as a child. I have watched his life story several times. He was a great American hero.
