I haven't forgotten Audie Murphy. I recall having watched on television in the 1970s some of the films in which Mr. Murphy starred, and my late father having explained to me about Mr. Murphy's heroism in World War II. I have since that time read what an exemplary life Mr. Murphy led, including his advocacy on behalf of fellow veterans for research into what has become known as "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder," from which Mr. Murphy himself suffered.
A recent Audie Murphy film festival on Katz Broadcasting's Grit TV reminded me of what a personable and talented person Audie Murphy was, and how he, like many other actors of a previous era (including some more famous in their times), have been forgotten and need to be reintroduced to younger generations.
Audie Murphy is certainly long overdue to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was a brave man, and a genuine hero and patriot of the United States of America. I hope Mr. Murphy's children and some grandchildren will be able to accept the award on his behalf, if and when it is granted by the president of the United States.
