I forgot -- in case there are other parents perusing the webpage looking for books for their sons, I found another entitled "An American Knight: The Life of Col. John Ripley, USMC" by Norman Fulkerson. Col. Ripley served in Vietnam. My sons enjoy his book very much also. Admin reply: Thank you again Lisa. I appreciate your suggestion and hope it benefits others. Added: June 17, 2020

As a homeschooling mother of four sons, I am constantly looking for good role models for them. I purchased for them one of the books you have on your list, "Real Men", and a merit system had to be set up to earn it because each one wanted to read it first. I learned about it first here. My oldest son wrote his first high school research report on Audie Murphy. I have two daughters also and I found the story of his wife, Pamela, to be just as inspiring. She is a good role model for our girls -- an example of perseverance and keeping faith which should inspire all wives, especially wives of men who are struggling with trauma or any other difficulties. She's also a great hero. Thanks so much for your work with this site and for providing books that we can give to our sons. Admin reply: Hi Lisa! Such a nice, thoughtful comment. Please tell your children to keep up the good work and that a teacher in Japan (on an Army base ... me) is proud of their efforts! Added: June 17, 2020

I enjoyed my visit to the museum in January. I am unsure as to how up-to-date this site is. I intend to come to the celebration in August. Would be better if Iinfo on the event was more prominent. Admin reply: Yes ma'am, I agree. The American Cotton/Audie Murphy museum event now scheduled in August has probably been effected by the COVID-19 / social distancing. No doubt there were calendar changes made because of it. I visited their website and see that they have a museum Facebook page that does looks. You can message them by visiting: https://www.facebook.com/audiemurphyamericancottonmuseum I hope this helps! Added: June 15, 2020

How do you become a member Admin reply: If you are referring to the website or the Audie Murphy Research Foundation, you don't need to join but we would appreciate a donation. If you are referring to the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club (SAMC) you have to enlist in the army and be recommended after you attain an NCO rank of E5 (Sergeant) or E4 (Corporal). Added: June 14, 2020

This would be a great time to start a petition to have one of the military bases (currently named for confederate generals) Renamed to "Fort Audie Murphy"! Does anyone know how to start this petition? Admin reply: I'm not sure ... it's a great idea. It would also be great to petition the Navy to name a soon-to-be-commissioned ship after Audie Murphy. It is not uncommon for US Navy ships to take on the names of individuals unrelated to the Navy. Added: June 12, 2020

Major Audie Murphy was a true HERO and it is a shame that he died so soon and before his time. My Dad was in Europe 1944-1945 end of war as a Medic US Army. I served USAF 11 Jan 1967 to Apr 1967. Then I spent from 1973 to 15 July 2008 in USAF Reserves. I was injured June 18,1969 Bien Hoa AD Vietnam and 32 years later received my Purple Heart. AUDIE MURPHY was truely an inspiration to all military personnel. Added: June 8, 2020

I was 7 years old when Audie Murphy's biographical movie, "To Hell and Back Came out". He became, and still is, a hero for me. Added: June 8, 2020

Having watched his movie, To Hell And Back, I didn't know him but am very proud of what he did for our country. I'm 78 now but watched the movie when it 1st came out. As the years have gone by I do make it a point to watch his movie when it comes on. I can only hope that as time goes by that people won't forget him. Thank you for your service Mr. Audie Murphy and R.I.P. Added: June 7, 2020

Audie was a great man, he is a role model for every young man in this country. I wish I could have shaken his hand.
Admin reply: Me too. And there is no doubt that if you could see him today, he would shake your hand. He was a very humble and unassuming man who liked to be with the common man. Thank you for your comment too!
