Comment:
Born 2 weeks after Pearl Harborwith memories of wartime. As a 12 yo girl, fell in love with Audie still love him. He touches my heart deeply--- already showing the stuff of a hero by age 12 himself. After the war he continued to live as a hero, not by virtue of his combat record but by his character-- always able to cut through to the core reality and react quickly with a keen instinct for the lay of real terrain and life's terrain. Never focused on self , always polite, gentle and compassionate unless roused to his quick anger by some injustice, particularly to others. He struggled with PTSD with as great a courage as he showed in combat and today's soldiers owe much to him as he led the way to mental health treatment for vets though he himself never received such. As a mental health therapist with a speciality in PTSD, I appreciate this site, keeping his memory alive, as today's folk need such models as much as ever we did.
