Comment:
Audie was raised within one mile of my chilhood farm at Lane, Tx just 5 miles west of Celeste, Tx. My father was a little older than Audie back then but knew him and his family. My father later became a WWII veteran himself. I heard many stories about Audie as I was being raised in Lane in the 60s & 70s. I remember attending the Memorial they hosted for Audie at Celeste High School shortley after his death. My opinion is that there should be an Audie Murphy Memorial in Washington D.C. similar to the new Dwight Esinenhower Memorial. An intestering little known fact is that Murphy & Eisenhower were born just a few miles apart in Texas. Added: July 3, 2021
Comment:
I was serving in the Army in Vietnam when Audie Murphy died. I was an infantry lieutenant. He was an amazing soldier and a true hero in so many way. I was infantry company commander at Ft. Lewis, Wa where parts of To Hell and Back were filmed. I watch this amazing story from time to time and go out of my way to tell people, especially young people, about him and his sacrifices. His friends who died around him in the year of my birth, 1945, did not have the 76 years of life that I have had. I hope my actions and words have paid good tribute to them as well.
