Although a German, audie fought against, he was the most popular movie star to me in my youth. Now, in my 70s I was interested in his life in more detail. He was a fascinating person, I think! Admin reply: Vielen Dank mein Freund. Herr Murphy liebte die einfachen Leute. Wir schätzen Ihre treue Hingabe. Deutschland ist auch wunderbar. Added: June 24, 2020

I come from the Murphy family that lived in the West Virginia and Ohio area. My grandpa Wilbur Murphy delivered coal along the river for man years. Don't know if there is any relation but love Susie's movies. Admin reply: The movies are a staple in our house too! I just finished watching "Destry" and "World In My Corner" The only bad part about it was I ran out of popcorn :0). Added: June 21, 2020

I wanted to grow up and marry Audie Murphy. I just wanted to share that, wow, he would have been 95. I used to have in my wallet a quote of his, I have to paraphrase but he said lots of guys were heroes, heroes that weren't coming home. Admin reply: Thank you Crystal for your kind thoughts. Thanks for remembering all of our heroes, Audie included. Added: June 21, 2020

I came to this site looking for some facts about Audie to use as a sermon illustration for a message I am preaching tomorrow entitled "Where Have All the Men Gone?" Audie Murphy was the first name that popped into my head when thinking of a courageous man. I didn't realize today was his birthday. Best wishes to his remaining family and friends, especially his sister. Admin reply: Best wishes to you, your congregation, and your sermon pastor! Thank you for the message too. Added: June 20, 2020

We(the whole family) went on a camping trip this weekend and on the way home drove right by the exit on Interstate 10 that you would take to go to the former TM Ranch. The boys wanted to take a detour and go look at it, but Dad vetoed -- late at night already and he had to work in the morning. Plus there's a huge fire going on north of there...smoke was thick as could be, terrible visibility (it's still going on, barely contained). But wondered if anybody else has been there and if it's really approachable. From the Google map, it looks rather remote and basically uninhabited with nothing else anywhere near.
Admin reply: Hi Lisa! Great question. I actually used to work very close to there at Hughes Missile Company (now Raytheon) right off of Benson Highway when I was a young college student. I think it is approachable. You may not be able to stop, get out, and knock on the front door of the ranch. You could encounter a gated fence somewhere after leaving I-10. There is also a decommissioned Titan II Nuclear missile silo smack dab on the periphery of the property (map link: http://g.co/maps/tj7r7 ) about 1.6 miles northwest of the TM ranch. It too would also make a great adventure, in my view. If you are back in the neighborhood, you might try it out. Maybe you will get lucky and there will be no signs posted limiting access. Good luck and let me know if you try again.
