  • Audie Murphy: the Last American War Hero Gene Klann
    AUDIE MURPHY: THE LAST AMERICAN WAR HERO GENE KLANN San Antonio, Texas, is the proud home of several unique sites of interest for the military historian and collector. These include the legendary Alamo, idyllic Fort Sam Houston, the historic air- craft display at Lackland Air Force Base, and, of course, the Audie Murphy Memorial Room and Statue. The Memorial Room and Statue are located on the grounds of the Audie Murphy Veterans Administration Hospital. This hospital is one of the V.A.’s largest and at the time of its 1973 dedication was the only one to bear the name of a veteran. The Memorial Room has several detailed and attractive displays depicting Audie Murphy’s civilian and military careers. Of spe- cial interest are those which include Audie’s military uniforms, weapons, German war trophies, award documents, and his medals (several of which are named). AUDIE MURPHY’S BLOUSE WITH ACCOUTERMENTS, INCLUDING HIS MEDAL OF HONOR (Photo taken in the Audie Murphy Memorial Room by the author) I0 According to letters and inscriptions in this small but extremely fascinating museum, Audie Leon Murphy was "the best soldier there ever was’’I and "the most decorated serviceman in the history of the United States of America."2 These complimentary descriptions adequately summarize the high regard in which Audie was held by his comrades and the American public after World War II. The Audie Murphy story is yet another of the American dream come true. From an impoverished rural Texas background, Audie became the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Major Audie Murphy, US Army Second Lieutenant Audie Murphy Received
    Major Audie Murphy, U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Audie Murphy received his Medal of Honor citation for World War II in 1945: “Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry. Second Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. Second Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50-caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the singlehanded fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw.

  • Audie Murphy, World War II, and Courage
    The Most Decorated American Soldier of World War II: Audie Murphy, World War II, and Courage Handout A: Narrative BACKGROUND Audie Murphy was born and raised in rural Texas, where his parents were poor itinerant farmers who struggled to put food on the table. He generally lived in shacks without electricity or running water. His family was poor in 1925 when he was born, but the Great Depression caused cotton prices to plummet. This made finding work even more difficult for his father, who increasingly turned to alcohol and eventually abandoned his wife and children when Audie was fifteen. Murphy did not attend school until he was nine and left to go to work at thirteen. He became a crack shot with a rifle and often hunted to help feed his family. Murphy later admitted that he was angry with his father because “I hate anyone who quits.” Murphy admired courage as a young man and wanted his father to battle even against great odds. Murphy bounced around low-paying jobs during the Great Depression, trying to learn a skill and send some money home to his mother and siblings. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the thin young man tried to join the U.S. Marine Corps, but was rejected for his diminutive size. After several attempts, he was finally accepted into the U.S. Army and found his purpose. Murphy enjoyed the order and stability of army life in basic and advanced infantry training at various military bases. He easily earned his marksmanship badge because of his expert skill with a rifle.

  • Not Always Hell
    NOT ALWAYS HELL by Stephen J. Rogers Recollections of World War II from Casablanca to Berchtesgaden 1942 - 1945 "It is required of man that he should share the passion and action of his time at the peril of being judged not to have lived.” -Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Battle Stars earned by the Third Infantry Division for campaigns during World War II - Algeria - French Morocco Rome – Arno Tunisia Southern France Sicily Rhineland Naples - Foggia Ardennes – Alsace Anzio Central Europe November 10, 1993 Prelude Sons always ask their fathers about the wars they've been in. It's in the genes, I guess. Most of us don't give very good answers. We're glad to get home, sad that we lost comrades we cared about, eager to get on with our lives. At reunions, we tell funny stories about incidents we shared, blocking memories we choose to forget - as if there had been no fear, no suffering, no death. This is my remembrance of World War II, written in response to my sons' request to tell them what it was like for their dad to serve with the Third Infantry Division from the landings in North Africa to the capture of Hitler's house in Berchtesgaden. It is also written for our daughter and her family, who are just as curious about the adventures of ''Pom-Pom''. This is not the story of a man who fought in combat, but of one who witnessed it. As a staff officer, I never fired a shot at the enemy, although I was wounded at the Anzio beachhead.
