I had the honor of meeting Audie Murphy on the set of Battle at bloody Beach. I didn't even know he was a war hero, but just an actor. I later lived in Greenville,TX where there is a memorial at the town library. To have crossed paths with such a great American is a true blessing. Added: November 14, 2012

It is a priveledge to know that a brave man gave so much for so little, and that from such a hero, we owe so much more than medals. We owe an undying dept of gratitude to him, and Every other man who fought and served this country so nobly and gallantly. Truly, this was the greatest generation, and it is our duty to never forget the scarifices these men and women gave, that we might forever know the price of freedom, for which they gave so much. To Audi Murphy, I salute you. Added: November 13, 2012

I was born in Port Arthur, Texas and grew up as an Army Brat. My Dad landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944 with the 3rdArmored Div. It is possible he crossed paths with Audie somewhere in France. The parade in the opening scene reminded me of the Sat morning pass-in-reviews on Army bases we lived. I watched "To Hell and Back" 4 times in one day when I was 12. He and my father inspired me to seek a career in the military. Due to a sports injury, I could not pass the physical for a service academy. I chose Texas A&M as a route to a commission. I was unable to maintain the training requirements abd dropped out of ROTC. In 1965, the USAF put in flight school. Served until 1971. Added: November 12, 2012

Although we have the same last name to the best of my know we are not related. But Audie has been a hero of my since I was a child and saw his first movie and was told who he was. He has given the strength to move forward at times in my life when I lived in nothing but fear. Thank you Audie for showing me what a real hero looks like.

Audie was my hero as a boy along with Roy Rogers. I have to say that Roy was a distant second though. I was saddened to hear of his death back in 1971. Looking at current events, it seems that we may never have anyone like Audie again. It is sad to think that but also a reason to hold on to Audie's legacy even harder.
