Audie Murphy
Came across this on the 'net. A true hero, one of our finest.

Was not a bad actor either. I've enjoyed many of his movies some were a little 'hickey' but most were pretty good.
The hero label is well founded he was a credit to mankind.

To Hell and Back, one of my favorites. He died at 48 in a plane crash, if my memory is still intact.
Buried at Arlington, always go to his gravesite when visiting.
Audie Murphy Museum, I believe off I-20 northeast Texas.

Visit the Medal of Honor Museum aboard the USS Yorktown, CV10, at Patriot's Point in Charleston, Harbor.

When playing soldiers as kids, there was always an argument about who gets to be Audie Murphy !! He was most every kid's hero back in the 40's & 50's

A true hero in the real sense of the word hero. Not the same definition by todays standards.

Thanks for posting Dirk. Look up his Biograph on Google...amazing feats for a teenager and early 20's.

and 60s!
Audie enlisted as a private and died as a Major, not too bad for a 5th grade dropout.
Much more can be read on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy
