Comment:
I was priviledged to have learned about Mr Murphy only couple of years ago. His life is an amazing example of what it means to be an American. Unfortunately his life was cut short with his untimely death. We could really use an "Audie Murphy" today to show our young people what it means to be an American. I thank him for his service, dedication to country, and to have served as an example of what it means to be a real Anerican. Admin reply: I agree Janet. As a teacher, I appreciate your thoughtful comment. In the many years I have been doing this website, I have discovered that the newer generations are fascinated about Audie. The biggest limiting factor about acquiring information on him seems to be that not enough adults are passing the history of Audie on. Added: July 6, 2020

Audie is one of my heroes growing up. I am 64 years old and still think of him often. I visited his grave at Arlington Cemetery. His story is one of a kind. He is an example of pure unselfishness in a world that deserves much less. May his story continue to be told and his honor held high by those who appreciate men such as he. Admin reply: Hi Roger. My understanding is that Audie will soon be one of the 30 prominent figures of history that will be honored in the National Garden of Heroes. I don't know the time-frame of construction on this monument / National landmark or where it will be, but if it is in DC I hope on your next visit you will be able to see the Garden and Audie in it.

A true American hero! I've been a fan since I was a little boy Admin reply: Thank you for your comment and devotion to Audie. You are in God's country. Audie would agree. His TM Ranch for Quarter Horses was located at Vail, Arizona. Added: June 29, 2020

People like Audie Murphy should never be forgotten and there history should be taught in schools across the world Admin reply: You are right. I'm a math/business/technology teacher. A student from 10 years ago thanked me last week for sharing Murphy with her. Her husband was just inducted in the Sergeant Audie Murphy Board. Added: June 29, 2020

He was a great american hero and someone to look up to and respect. Loved all his movies and only wish I could have met him. Admin reply: I agree, Jim. A great person ... never met him but I have met a few of his siblings and one of his boys. Great people. Added: June 28, 2020

I grew up watching Audie Murphy movies. I had the biggest crush on him. One day my mom and I were watching one of his movies and she told me of his heroism. I'm happy to have grown up right after the war and to really honor men like Mr. Murphy R.I.P. Admin reply: Hi Karen. Thank you for your comment! Many, many young ladies had a crush on Audie and many, many young men wanted to have his bravery. You will be happy to know that many, many active duty military service people still actively research Audie too. He lives on. Added: June 27, 2020

We(the whole family) went on a camping trip this weekend and on the way home drove right by the exit on Interstate 10 that you would take to go to the former TM Ranch. The boys wanted to take a detour and go look at it, but Dad vetoed -- late at night already and he had to work in the morning. Plus there's a huge fire going on north of there...smoke was thick as could be, terrible visibility (it's still going on, barely contained). But wondered if anybody else has been there and if it's really approachable. From the Google map, it looks rather remote and basically uninhabited with nothing else anywhere near. Admin reply: Hi Lisa! Great question. I actually used to work very close to there at Hughes Missile Company (now Raytheon) right off of Benson Highway when I was a young college student. I think it is approachable. You may not be able to stop, get out, and knock on the front door of the ranch. You could encounter a gated fence somewhere after leaving I-10. There is also a decommissioned Titan II Nuclear missile silo smack dab on the periphery of the property (map link: http://g.co/maps/tj7r7 ) about 1.6 miles northwest of the TM ranch. It too would also make a great adventure, in my view. If you are back in the neighborhood, you might try it out. Maybe you will get lucky and there will be no signs posted limiting access. Good luck and let me know if you try again. Added: June 25, 2020

Although a German, audie fought against, he was the most popular movie star to me in my youth. Now, in my 70s I was interested in his life in more detail. He was a fascinating person, I think! Admin reply: Vielen Dank mein Freund. Herr Murphy liebte die einfachen Leute. Wir schätzen Ihre treue Hingabe. Deutschland ist auch wunderbar. Added: June 24, 2020
