This is Audie Murphy's life story. At the tender age of 12, he becomes the
head of the family after his father deserts them. He joins the army at the
age of 18 and through the course of the war is decorated for valor nine times
thus becoming the most decorated combat soldier in World War II. Audie does
one of the bravest acts any soldier ever did during the war. He climbs aboard
a burning tank destroyer and single handedly keeps the enemy from advancing on
his position. He spends almost an hour on top of the tank destroyer until his
ammunition is exhausted. Seconds later after climbing off the tank destroyer,
it explodes. For this action, Audie receives the Medal of Honor.
