I currently live Greenville,Texas 2011-2012 I worked on Collin County Courthouse, where we did addition,and nearly complete remodeling of court house. During demolition stage, I come across a piece of shiny brass facing down among the debris onfloor. After wiping the dust from it, I discovered it was a plaque honoring Audie, and growing up in N.Texas,I knew who it was. I honestly couldn't believe that the official's of the building didn't make arrangements to have this removed, and put away till completion. If they couldn't honor the man properly, then I would! It's nothing fancy just a thin piece of shiny brass with his name and some of his accomplishments noted on it, but the man deserves more respect than it got. So he now has a place in my home where my family pictures are hanging. No one kknows it's there, but then few people come to my place. Yet it's far better fitting here than in the landfill it was headed for, cause next remodel, I won't be there to rescue it again.And odds are no one else would've even noticed it laying among the debris there on the floor.

It is a shame that Mr. Murphy died at such a young age. I have always liked his movies. He made the viewer become involved in his character. I am very sorry that he is still missing his Texas medal. There are so many that have fought for our country, that did not receive the credit they were due for their heroic service for the United States of America. Our government should reward this men for their lost lives, and the battle symptoms they came home from war with.

Audie was the most unassuming, humble hero we've ever had. I'm sure if I asked him about his combat experiences and awards he would simply say "I was just doing as I was trained." God Bless him.
