The one who followed the philosophy of Mission First - People Always. A fitting tribute to a Soldier's Soldier. A soldier is comfortable with those of his/her own kind. I salute the one who was truly comfortable with those in uniform.

The WWII generation is sadly, and rapidly fading away. We must keep their history alive for future generations to know about the sacrifices and hardships these men and women made and endured! I salute them all, and am just sad that Mr. Murphy left us too soon!

I am doing research on this courageous and heroic man and have been astonished at his attributes. I am so motivated to be all that I can be and continue my enlistment in the military just so that one day hopefully someone will think as much about me as many of us do about Audie Murphy. It is such a pleasure to appear at the board which was started in memory of him. I am striving to achieve my goal of winning the board and being all that I can be. Thank you for dedicated a web page to Audie Murphy. Great Man!!!

I was delighted to find this site. I had forgotten how many contributions that Mr Murphy had made and just how decorated he was. We should never forget the contributions of this great American Hero. Thank your Audie...... but thank you seems like it's just not enough for what you have done for all of us!

I was 14 years old at the time, and he was a big hero to all of the kids my age. I only saw him a couple of times. He was a very nice man.

Name: Gary Clark Website: Referred by: Word of Mouth From: Michigan originally, now live in Las Vegas Time: 1999-07-25 15:47:48 Comments: Audie Murphy wasn't only the most decorated soldier of WWII, as far as I know he was the most decorated American soldier EVER! I know of nobody else who ever achieved what he did. I enlisted in the Army in 1959 and took basic training at Ft. Riley, KS with the 1st Inf. Div. There I noticed some of the cadre wearing the 3rd Div patch of the right shoulder. When I asked if they knew Audie Murphy from the war, several of them replied they did. In fact, one old sgt. had been Audie's squad leader at one time. It was an honor to be trained by men who had fought alongside Audie Murphy.

It irritates me to see so many of today's generation who have so much information available to them, yet they know so little about our history and heroes. Also, wouldn't it be great if all the search engines would add just one more line to their front page categories. Just one line, "American Heroes".

Congratulations on your effort to preserve his memory. The young people of America have very few heros to look up to and idolize. I was fortunate to have grown up in a generation of patriotic and sports heros. I hope my grandchildren and generations to come will be able to share a similar experience.

Imagine my delight to find he was a real life hero as well. I feel not enough is done to preserve the memory of the real hero's and am always telling people I meet how I have just come on the Internet and imagine my feelings as the first thing I looked up was Audie Murphy, to find he had a website was wonderful. I thought I knew all there was about him, but now find I only "knew" a fraction of who this talented and wonderful man was. I come on to the website every day, and will continue to for a long time, God willing. Thank you all for the opportunity, as it is very difficult in England to find any information at all now. once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT REAL HERO'S AREN'T JUST MADE IN MOVIES, SOMETIMES THEY'RE BORN. AND I THANK GOD THAT I HAD A DAD WHO MADE SURE I LEARNED THAT LESSON TOO.

I thought it would be a good idea to show her his web site. She is also hoping to have his image upon a stamp. She remembers seeing "To Hell and Back" in her native Yugo- slavia about 40 years ago. She regards him as a wonderful, wholesome actor and "falls in love with him" whenever she sees his movies.

yesterday. I was moved by the memorabilia that appears to have been so lovingly displayed in glass cases in the lobby. Among several items which included, but were not limited to, his Army uniform, war trophies, Hollywood screenplay scripts, costume articles from various feature films, I was particularly saddened by the sight of a German camera he acquired that was last used by his family to photograph his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. I could imagine a young hero returning home and enthusiastically displaying that camera, probably not having the slightest idea that the last frames of film that it would ever expose would document his passing, signifying our nation's great loss. My feelings of reverence were shattered as I turned to leave the lobby and saw the glaring portrait of William Jefferson Clinton on the wall nearby.

Time: 1999-07-14 19:25:58 Comments: I am currently in the Senior Non Commissioned Officers Academy at Gunter Annex Montgomery AL. I am an E-8 SMSgt in the USAF. I am researching contributions that enlisted members and members that have their roots grounded in enlisted heritage have made to this great nation. Audie L. Murphy epitomizes good against evil. On a recent trip to Washington D.C. I took my English wife to Arlington National Cemetary. I walked amongst the hero's who rest there and was overwhelmed by the beauty and historical significance. I took my wife's hand and that of my oldest son while my younger son held my wife's other hand and took the path, ever so small, beneath the tree to see the final resting place of Audie Murphy. I cried as I thought of his sacrifices and I exalted in the fact that he was resting amongst those like him. Brothers and Sisters, Aunts and Uncles, Grandfathers, Fathers.. My son asked me who he had been. I explained to him as I knelt down beside him. We owe this nation no less than to recognize those contributions. God Bless America. God Bless Audie Murphy.

This may seem to be an odd thing to be said by a Polish -Australian but, I saw the life story of Audie as a youngster. It was my father that explained what Audie had done and this left an indellible impression on me that has lasted all my formitive years. My father served with the Polish Truck Co.attached to the US 8th Army in 1945 - 1947. He always said that a lot was owed to young men like Audie who helped liberate Europe.It has been a priveledge to express my thoughts and feelings on Audies Web Site. Thank You!!

They are forgetting not only our great war heroes, but our great history as well. The word freedom is used only in the speeches these public officials use to gain office. We need to continue to educate our youth on the history of our country and to remind them what it took to get us where we are today. I am proud of all the men and women who have served and continue to serve with honor. Son of a WWII veteran and active duty NCO. Hoo- ah!

I had heard of him, but until I viewed "To Hell & Back" on AMC a couple or so years ago, didn't know who he was. My husband and I now watch his movies on AMC and Encore Westerns Channel. I think that it's time for a TV movie or miniseries about Audie's life to be done, but who would be the best actor to play Audie? I can't believe with films like "Saving Private Ryan" out, that Audie's life story wouldn't be watched. By the way, I'm 36 years old...my mother grew up in West Virginia and does remember going to the movies to see Audie's films.
Name: John M. Manuel Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Louisiana Time: 1999-07-11 21:59:05 Comments: Audie is a favorite of mine, one of the heroes from my childhood. It's really a shame our children today don't have the kind of heroes we did when we were young. I'm doing my best with my children to introduce them to Audie, Roy, Randolph, the Duke and all the others who set such good examples for us. Who taught us to do it, because it was the right thing to do. That a man helped his friends in times of need. It's something our children today need so badly, instead of the message the news and entertainment industry is putting out today, "If it's what I want, then it's ok. If it causes me any pain or is just too hard, forget it!" We need heroes like Audie today!!!

I was always told as a child that he looked just like Audie Murphy. Unfortunately, I didn't become a fan until after his death. My children ages 5 and 9 will not miss an Audie Murphy movie. My father didn't live to see my children, but they always enjoy watching his movies and talking about how much he looks like their Papa's pictures during the War. I will try to submit a picture of him at a later date. Thanks

Without our military, there would be no United States of America. Audie Murphy and his men who so bravely fought with him deserve to be remembered by everyone. Your Web Site is beautiful and touching. I am thankful that you did this for him. When I finish my web site, I will send it to you. It is called NAAFM, Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines. I also helped to found a military chat room, same name. Our military is our greatest asset, our greatest force. God Bless you Richard, and God Bless our men and women who fought, died, were wounded and survived and those who were in during peace time, all of us in this together. I will send your WEB Site to everyone I know. Audie Murphy, you must be looking down from the heavens, I salute you.

When I was a little boy I liked him in the western movies and at that time did'nt realize what he had really done for our country along with my Father who also fought in WWII in some of the same conditions as Audie. I watch the movie To Hell and Back every time it comes on T.V. I can remeber the day I heard he had died in a plane crash it was on the news where I was working at the time. It was sad for him to have gone through so much in war and be killed in a plane crash during peace times. Jan Kuntz Warsaw,In.

Name: Nadine Carter Unger Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Missouri and Oregon Time: 1999-07-05 12:32:00 Comments: Hello: I am glad to see that you are remembering him. I know I do. The first I heard of him, I saw a sign with his picture hanging in front of our post office in Kennett MO. I asked my mother about him and she told me he was the most decorated solder, EVER. Then in 1956, when I was nine, the movie To Hell and Back was released. I saw it then and many, many times after. Yesterday, on the last 4th of July in this century, my husband and I watched it again. I know that Audie Murphy didn't live a happy life after WWII, and in view of what we know now about veterans of conflict, it is small wonder. Or, as he put it once when asked how did it feel to survive the war, he replied,. "No one survives a war." Thank you for honoring him, He deserves so much more. N. Unger Forest Grove OR 97116

Audie has always been my hero, and since boyhood I'd wanted to meet him. When I found out we shared birthdays, that cinched it! I miss him more than ever now, because real heroes like Audie are unknown today, just when we need them the most. The site will help many more young people to learn of, and be inspired by, Audie's honor, integrity and courage. He still gives to his country, by reminding us of what we can be.
