I grew up with Audie Murphy in my neighborhood in CA, and his photo has always sat on my desk as an inspiration. I was fortunate to go on location with him when he was making western movies when I was 12 years in the early 50's. He signed his picture for me in 1953. Great memories from my youth.

Awesome sight. Had heard about Audie but not a lot of info. Thanks to the internet have learned SO MUCH. Thanks to all who have shared this priceless information. So touching to learn all these things. He was a great human being. Hard worker. Always wanted to do his best at everything he did. Big heart. Cared about people. Humble person. Eager to learn all he could. Photos, personal letters, pictures etc. all priceless!!! He was a handsome fellow, great smile. He left this world too soon. Wonder about his sons, their families & how many grandchildren to carry on the Murphy name. Great info on all the military aspects, explanations of awards. Hope this site continues with any updated info from his children. Enjoyed learning all these things. Thanks to all who worked on this site. Wish I had the honor of meeting him. Email me if you like.♥♥♥ Added: December 6, 2016

After reading this amazing bio and seeing how hard he tried to help those with PTSD I think the new admin for va should be petitioned to name a PTSD clinic after him. They just opened or are about to opens large mental health clinic at va Seattle.what a legacy and inspiration to have it named after Murphy!48073 Added: December 3, 2016

I recently served as a RI Vet Corps Navigator as part of Americorps. I am 62 years old, and my father is a veteran and served in the Air Force. I remember the Viet Nam era and continue to see veterans who are homeless and traumatized; also those from the more recent wars overseas. Two years ago I was able to go for an MA in Holistic Counseling.Though it is wonderful that the VA sponsors many of these successful treatments,even now I grieve for veterans like Audie Murphy, and families like his. Someone who served so selflessly and for noble reasons deserved to heal from the horrors that are not lived by the average person. We all deal with trauma, hopefully, and grieving is a process. It is the bridge between surviving, going through motions, and thriving--enjoying and learning from life. Veterans of war need learn to live without the constant fight or flight condition. I am in the process of writing scenario that deals with PTSD. There are wonderful therapies, including pets. Audie was an animal lover, it seems, and I believe they brought him comfort and joy. God made animals to bless our lives. It is good to see that Audie and all the veterans he represents are not forgotten.

My daddy was in the same battalion as Audie Murphy his name was Floyd Long and he was called Pop because he was the oldest person there> he talked about him and he said he was very cocky. the movie To Hell and back was where he was. He also told us about the Navajo Indians that talked on the radios the Germans did not understand what they were saying. They approached daddy to be ahead of the team but he did not the responsibility for all those men. he also said they would have James Arness get off of the PT boat first to see how deep the water was. he never got over the war.He died when he was 90 years old.
