Comment:
Audie Murphy has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I first saw "To Hell and Back" as a young boy. I'm now a retired Texas HS football coach, and every year that I coached, I would tell the story of Audie Murphy to my team and encourage them to watch the movie and to study his life. I could never stop tears from welling up in my eyes as I recounted his story. I'm now working with my son (who is a criminal defense attorney in the DFW metroplex). Whenever we work at the Collin County courthouse, there are numerous large paintings of Mr. Murphy everywhere and pamphlets telling his story. I'm proud that he is a fellow Texan and his life and courage will always be something that I aspire to emulate in some small way. God Bless Audie Murphy. Added: February 7, 2015

I have always admired & respected Audie Murphy. His has not received all the respect & awards he deserves. He should certainly receive the Presidential Freedom Award Medal. He is truly a Texas Hero. Let's get real America. Mr. Murphy was a true dedicated soldier & American Citizen. Added: February 7, 2015

I recently found out about Audie and have been continually fascinated by his story since then. We do people of prominence day at my school where we dress up as a prominent person and give a speech about why "we" are prominent. Naturally I could think of no more inspiring person I could do than Mr.. Murphy. I hope my speech will be a success tomorrow and holds him in good favor. Added: February 5, 2015

Mr. Audie Leon Murphy is one of the four most profound Americans, ever. The first being Mr. John Paul Jones, from the revolutionary war; the second is Mr. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, from the Civil War; the third was Mr. Alvin C. York, from WWI, and Mr. Murphy, from WWII. I am dismayed that is none of these men are honored, with national days of remembrance on their birthdays in the school systems. Mr. Audie Murphy was not only the embodiment of the American spirit, but he the exemplar of hard work, decency and empathy. Yesterday, I introduced Mr. Murphy to by 10 and 12 year old boys, with his film, "To Hell and Back," and explained that he was the real hero, not NFL or NBA players. Till we wise up and teach our children who our real heroes are, on a regular basis, we will stand lose not only our American spirit (that Mr. Murphy best exemplified), but our freedoms as well. My most humblest and deepest gratitude to Mr. Audie Murphy, who could not live the American dream as a young boy, but made it possible for folks like me, from other places, to have my dream here!Sir, you are alive in me -- thank you!!
