Thank you for this Website. Because of your work, I can pass this man's history on to my grandchildren. The youth of America need to know the unpleasant parts of our history, and the sacrifices that made our world what it is today. The heroic men and women must be forever remembered. As an actor, I enjoy the rolls that he played. I have 3 favorite Western actors; Murphy, Wayne, and Douglas. RIP Gentlemen. Added: March 21, 2021

Is there ample recognition signage in the area where Audie grew up? (Birth place, hometown, etc.) I plan to visit the Muesuem in Greenville,Tx which is only about a three hour drive from my home in Oklahoma. While in that area would like to visit the communities in which Audie was connected. Admin reply: Start with the museum. When you get there, Ms. Susan Lanning (the museum director) or one of the staff members will point you to places you can visit. You may want to travel north along Hwy. 69 to see some of the markers in Farmersville, Kingston, and Celeste. Here is a link with information on some of those locations. https://www.audiemurphy.com/places012.htm Added: March 13, 2021

My Dad made me aware of Audie Murphy at an early age, where we held him in the highest of regards. He detailed how Audie Murphy was the most decorated military member from WWII, along with fact that he later became an actor. My Dad also lamented what a shame it was that the media treated him so badly through the years. Thank you for maintaining this site so that others can learn about, and appreciate Audie Murphy, the a great patriot, and fellow veteran.

Thank you for keeping the memory of Audie Murphy alive. I was born at the time when the war ended and his story educated me about the challenges and sacrifices that men like him made for our freedom.
After my tour of duty at sea in 1971, I did not hear of his death until much later. It is sad that the most decorated soldier in WW11 had such little media coverage.
I was born and grew upon on a remote South American sugar cane plantation. But since my youth, Audie Murphy has been my hero and I collected all of his movies, with his book.
'To Hell and Back' is my favourite movie, mainly because he tells his own story during the war.
He was such my favourite actor, that 'To Hell and Back' was showing freely at the sugarcane estate community centre in the 1960s and the same day I injured my left toe, while making a cricket bat. But with a bandage on my foot, there was no way I was going to miss seeing the movie, while I painfully hopped my way to see Audie again, with my friends.
I can recognize his unique voice anywhere.
