He was/is an absolute American hero. He was a young fellow when he did this. Great article, thanks for providing the link.
Still watch his movies when they come on the Grit channel where he plays a bad*****. RIP Audie Murphy

Men were a little different back then. Thank God for the greatest generation
We could never repay their sacrifice. And yes Audie was a true Bad Azz no doubt about it!

if you're ever in the Greenville area, stop by and check out his museum. It's right on I-30, and has lots of neat stuff in it.

True American war hero! Bugs me that he survived all of that only to go down in a plane crash. Dude should have lived into his 100's!

Those Americans truly are the Greatest Generation.

His cousin, William Webb, was my neighbors father. Native of Van Alstyne and Korean War vet. I attended his memorial last Saturday, died at 92. He had some cool stories of him and Audie.

This post took me down a rabbit hole of Audie info. In my early years I lived in Farmersville and used to see the Audie Murphy historical marker all the time on the square as my Dad worked right across the street from it.

I had totally forgotten how young Audie was when he died in that plane crash.....46 years young. I read a couple of things that said he had PTSD and slept with the lights on and a loaded pistol by his bed.
