Have been interested in since I first saw movie. Watched it twice this weekend. The amazing thing is that the movie actually understates what he did. I read recently that some veterans that seved with him said what he did the day before his heroic actions at the end of the film was even more remarable. Added: March 26, 2011

Reading about Audie Murphy, reminds me of my father, David John Lewis. He was a major in the Royal Welsh Regiment. HE WAS IN NORTH AFRICA AND LATER IN ITALY, WHERE HE MET AND MARRIED MY MOTHER, AT THE END OF WW2. hE WAS AWARDED THE SILVER STAR. wHEN EVER A FILM CAME ON THE T.V. WITH AUDIE MURPHY, HE WOULD CALL ME FROM WHERE EVER I WAS AND TELL ME , DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS, HE;S AUDIE MURPHY, HE WAS A GREAT SOLDIER IN THE WAR, AND HE TALKED ABOUT HIS BRAVERY AND MEDALS. MY FATHER NEVER SEEMED TO GROW TIRED OF SUMMONING ME FOR EVER FILM AND REPEATING THE SAME STORY, AS HE DID TO MY FOUR BROTHERS, IF THEY WERE IN THE HOUSE AND TO MY MOTHER. HIS ADMIRATION, RESPECT AND AWE OF HIS WAR RECORD WAS REKINDLED EVERY TIME HE SAW HIM ON SCREEN, SO AUDIE MURPHY IS PART OF MY LIFE AS HE WAS OF SO MANY SOLDIERS AND FAMILIES IN THE WORLD. i AM NOW SIXTY TWO YEARS OF AGE. MY FATHER DIED IN 2000. SOLDIERS WERE SO DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE WAR AND THE DEATH OF SO MANY COMRADES. MANY WERE ABLE TO CARRY ON WITH LIFE, BUT AS WITH MY FATHER, WITH RETIREMENT FROM WORK AND TIME TO NOT BE SO BUSY, ONE COULD SEE THE WAR COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM, AND HOW HE FELT FOR ALL THE MEN WHO DID NOT MAKE IT HOME.
