Audie Leon Murphy was one of the most decorated war heroes of all time. I’m sure that all army folks know about him so lets educate some of the rest of those who may not be enlightened to the truth about this great soldier.
Audie Murphy was born in Texas and spent his early life as a poor farmboy. He was the middle child of a very large family (12 children) and had to do whatever work that he could to support the family after his father left them. He lied about his age to get into the army and served with the 3rd Inf Division during WWII as an infantry soldier. I remember many of the movies that he made after he left the army which portrayed his exploits in the war. He made a large number of westerns also before he was killed in a plane crash in 1971. If you want to see a movie account of Audie Murphy in action I suggest that you watch the most famous of his war movies titled “To Hell and Back.”
Audie Murphy was a Medal of Honor recipient along with 32 other awards for bravery. Many times we have had Infantry soldiers to put a tribute to Audie Murphy on the custom military ring that they have ordered.
