The Audie L. Murphy Memorial Website is dedicated to the preservation, memory, honor, and history of the late Audie L. Murphy, America's most decorated combat soldier of World War II and a famous movie star. The website is sponsored by the Audie Murphy Research Foundation (AMRF), a non-profit 501.c.3 organization.

Tragically, Audie Murphy died in a plane accident in 1971. At the time of Audie Murphy's death, a troubled America seemed uninterested. When Audie Murphy's body was discovered his incredible life was given a combined total of 1 minute and 30 seconds of coverage by the major television news networks ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Over the years, the media's interest in Audie Murphy has waned more and more to the point where only an annual local mention of a hometown celebration commemorating the hero's life might be published.

Sadly, the age of computers may have accelerated the decline in interest for Audie Murphy. Reliable newspapers and other news sources have rapidly failed at an alarming rate. Television news programming has become more concerned with ratings than facts. Supermarket tabloids, a staple for many consumers, are focused on creating news instead of reporting it. Digital books and Internet websites are self-published without much effort or research, documentation, citations, or truth.

Social media with an emphasis on being "liked" and video games with their computer generated super heroes and villians are becoming the standards and role models of our younger generations. Perhaps worse of all, "cancelling American culture" seems to have become an increasingly fashionable trend and a politically approved movement.

It's little wonder that America's greatest heroes are becoming obscure and harder to find.

For these reasons the website was founded in 1996 out of a growing concern that the memory of Audie was fading. Since his death there have been published distortions and inaccurate accounts of Murphy's life. Unfortunately, many family members, close friends, soldiers, and actors who knew him best and could have set the record straight, have passed away.

It is our desire that this website become a collection of accurate and authentic resources children can learn from. We hope that adults will reacquaint themselves with an important part of their past. We seek to document a great American hero before he is forgotten. In doing so, we hope visitors will reflect on all of those who have fought, sacrificed, and died, past and present, for our freedom.
