Where do I begin? Until minutes ago, when I discovering this website dedicated to the life of Mr Murphy, did I fully comprehend all who he was. What a true American Hero!!! A wonderful example to all of our countries youth. His accomplishments stand as a reminder to us all that every one of us has the ability to overcome terrible obstacles. Added: June 24, 2018

Thank you for the excellent work done here and elsewhere. I happen to be watching an Audie Murphy movie "Drums Across the River". I remembered my dad talking about the Medal of Honor... Thankfully I found this website to read up on Mr. Murphy's amazing life and heroism. Wow, a true hero - nothing like many of the cheating and disrespectful sports stars that are advertised as heroes today. He also made great movies as a true "good guy". Added: June 22, 2018

I now live in Athens, Texas, where, at 4 years of age visiting grandparents, I saw the movie that may have had more impact on me than any other. “The Kid From Texas,†portrayed the Lincoln County life of Billy the Kid and starred Audie Murphy. I was impacted by the showing of Billy the Kid respecting the law (true) that wasn't corrupt as represented by the Territorial Governor Gen. Lew Wallace (author of ‘Ben Hur') yet dedicated to avenging the death of his employer/benefactor John Tunstall (from Ireland) who was literally gunned down while on a buggy ride by persons employed by the L.G.Murphy/Dolan monopoly that young Tunstall had been so audacious as to compete with. First saw Wm.Bonney gravesite in NM at age 8, made considerable effort to see - and did see Audie Murphy in person when I was17, and I have visited his gravesite at Arlington. I regret that time necessarily reduces the numbers of those who rememberLt. Murphy, a true hero. “To Hell and Back†was an outstanding motion picture. In 6th grade in Texas, the portrait of Audie Murphy that was hanging in the Capitol in Austin was in our school books. I made an effort to see it when later I was in school there.

My single most admired american hero. I regret that I never had the opportunity to meet him. His heroic feats during WWII were amazing. Even during my 4 combat tours in Vietnam 1965-1970, as an enlisted man, my heroic accomplishments didn't even come close to his. Just like Audie, I did not consider myself a hero just a Seal doing his job. Hoo Yah Audie Murphy!
