Comment:
I have been a fan of Audie Murphy since I can remember (I am 63 yrs. old) I remember a a young man watching his movies with a keen interest. I became especially intrigued when I discovered that he was a Freemason and Brother. I have served as Worshipful Master of my lodge in Pennsylvania on three occasions and I have presented numerous speeches to various Masonic groups about Brother Murphy. Most have been presented for a Veteran's Day related meeting. I am currently (10/2011) preparing a paper for submission to a Masonic organization which I will orally deliver to the group and then present the paper for possible publication at a later time. Suffice it to say that great is my admiration for this American icon and Mason! Added: October 2, 2011

I watched the movie tonight of Audie Murphy titled, "To Hell and Back". It was such a touching story about Audie's young life. I have always heard the name but had never seen any movie about him. I also told my husband tonight that the young people need to know about this man and began asking him questions about Audie. He told me to check his life story out on google. This is reason I am now commenting. What a moral, family loving, dedicated young man he was. I agree about bringing his memory alive again for our youth of America. Joan A.

A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO VISIT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY. THERE, LIKE MOST PERSONS I PAID MY RESPECTS TO PRESIDENT KENNEDY, ROBERT KENNEDY AND AUDEY L. MURPHY. AS WE ALL KNOW, PRESIDENT KENNEDY HAS AN ETERNAL FLAME AND THE AREA IS LARGE IN NATURE. ROBERT KENNEDY'S IS JUST A SIMPLE WHITE CROSS, JUST A FEW STEPS AWAY. BEHIND THE TUMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER AND AMPHATHERATRE, ACROSS THE STREET I LOCATED MAJOR MURPHY'S MARKER. I WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THE SIMPLICITY OF THE SURROUNDINGS FOR SUCH A GREAT HERO, BUT THEN I RECALLED THAT THESE WERE HIS WISHES. I'M IN MY 64TH YEAR AND COUNT MY LIFE LONG HERO'S ON ONE HAND, MAJOR MURPHY IS #1 ON THAT LIST. MAY HE REST IN PEACE, HE MOST CERTAINLY DESERVES THIS REST. AFFECTIONATELY AND HUMBLY YOURS, H. ALVAREZ...U.S. ARMY 1968-1970. Added: September 30, 2011 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts
