Although I am a member, l wish to say that i only visited Arlington once and that was to visit Audie's gravesite and JFK'S. While walking to JFK's though I spotted a stone with the name of Burba. I walked over and saw it was the grave of General Edwin Burba, our CG in the 2nd Armored Dv. when we deployed from Fort Hood to Germany in 1963. He, too, was killed in a plane crash. Admin reply: Hell on Wheels, John! I too was a member of 2AD but I came a little after you (1986-1990). I well remember various activities at Burba Gym to include deploying my soldiers to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War and also to Germany for Reforger exercises. I had no idea General Burba was the victim of a plane crash. Thank you for posting this. Thank you for your service too. ... Richard Rodgers, Webmaster, AMRF Added: August 2, 2020

I respect Audie Murphy and men like him who fought for freedom and those who continue to serve their country. My father was in the navy during World War II. Audie’s courage and tenacity that he demonstrated throughout his life should be an example to all of us. His young eyes saw too much of the hell of war but I believe that he was saved for a special purpose, to put his experiences into words, to overcome his personal demons and to try and help others see that soldiers may go to hell but they still bring some of it back with them, and then to see how he was able to give us an opportunity to take some time to forget our troubles and just enjoy a good, clean, wholesome movie. After finishing his one last mission, he had completed what he was saved for and he was finally able to rest from all of his cares. However, he will never really be gone. All we have to do is put a disk in the video player and there is that boyish face that saw so much and yet gave all he had. Admin reply: Beautifullly said, Jennefer. Thank you. Added: July 31, 2020

Audie was just 10yrs older than me. My Father in law knew his family and Audie although he was quite a bit older. I think I've seen the majority of his films, I don't believe he ever made a bad one. I really would love to see **TO HELL AND BACK** again but it's never showing anywhere although his westerns are on almost every weekend on Dish, and a pleasure to watch again. Admin reply: Mel, it is generally shown on military-related holidays such as Veteran's Day and Memorial Day. It will come around again.

Thank you for keeping his memory alive. He was an incredible man.
I'm 56 and remember him well. I'm sorry that the later generations cannot say the same.
Again, thanks.
