this was excellent.... what idiots would give this a thumbs down? he was awesome, an American hero,.. humble and vulnerable. bless him.

I'm English and I have so much respect for audie Murphy. The guy is a legend .So sad the way he passed.RIP Audie.

This man is one of my most favorite people in the world. I first movie I saw him was the "To Hell and Back." We love you Audie Murphy. You sure are among the angels in heaven. 🙏💖

The most admired man in my life - decent, brave, talented and never let the star stuff get the better of him - it would have been an honour to meet him.

Audie Murphy was a great actor and a humble man. I still watch his movies

He was definitely a "man's man". Strong but humble. Wish there was more of them in these days.

Audie Murphy had more courage in his little finger than I have in my whole body. I think he was the most courageous human being ever put on this earth.

He was an honorable man who grew up in horrible circumstances and overcame lifes miseries. God Bless you Audie!

My Dad would watch Audie’s movies that’s where I learned to love Audie . I was young but I still love him .

Audie Murphy was perhaps the greatest American hero of all time. He was very humble and always gave the credit to others. He was a servant leader who led by example, and if someone was afraid to do a task he would do it himself. He was smart, cool, methodical, and fierce in combat - personally killing over 240 German and Italian enemy soldiers in WWII. He was a great actor and his movies are a treasure because he was the real deal. There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe this truly great man. God bless bless Audie Murphy.

Why say the greatest? That is a disservice to others who served. Did you know that according to the American Veterans Center there are at least 50 servicemen who ranked higher than Audie for medals awarded overall. I say at least 50 because that is as far as their list goes.

Wow I always knew Audie was a movie actor but had no idea of his exploits in WW2......Very inspiring!!

Audie was a true hero and will never be forgotten RIP AUDIE

he is an absolutely phenomenal man, blows my mind. just wow. such resilience

We need more heroes like Audie Murphy!! Never taking the credit by himself!

When I was a teenager I had a huge crush on Audie Murphy and, if I'm honest, I still do. He was the real deal. R.I.P.

A beautifully produced tribute to a GREAT American Hero. This Veteran's day I want to thank all those who have served and are serving today.

It is amazing that after all this time Mr. Audie Murphy is still captivating those of us who did not know him. I absolutely love the movies that I have seen. I only wish that he could have had the long lasting success he so richly deserved, and I pray that he knew how much the public cared for him.

even today i still watch his movies in respect of a true hero. he believed in his country and fought for it .....respect

I had never heard of him until coming across a memorial along the Appalachian Trail west of Roanoke near where his plane crashed. Glad to learn more about him.

Audie Murphy and Alvin York are two of the greatest war heroes which hardly no people in the United States really know about, but instead we admire basketball, baseball and football players and put Bronze Statues in front of the town of the people which means nothing, nothing to us ,Audie Murphy and Alvin York are true heroes of our country !

Audie Murphy was a hero in the truest sense. I have seen many of his movies and own a few like The Unforgiven, To Hell and Back, and Night Passage, He worked with actors like Jimmy Stewart and Burt Lancaster and actresses like Audrey Hepburn. His movies are remembered by those who grew up in the 50s and early sixties. I for one remember him well.

We just toured the Colmar pocket, museum and his memorial in France.

While doing this he was calling in artillery strikes close to his own position to give his men some relief. He was so poor as a kid he had to shoot rabbits and squirrels for dinner. “If I missed, we didn’t eat.” LEGEND

That's right, Murphy did the right thing, and didn't take off/abandon his family. His PTSD showed that he was HUMAN. Let's not forget that George S. Patton slapped a "shell shocked" soldier, and considered them cowards. Patton should have been dismissed from the Army for that - at the very least relegated to a stateside post. I don't know if Major Murphy ever expressed his thoughts on that. But he led his men by example, and was more highly decorated than Patton was ! Patton would have had to salute Murphy first... even if Murphy was only a Corporal ! All Medal of Honor recipients are, by tradition, saluted.

These heroes save other soldiers thanks to their valor and courage and strength and their inner desire to save other americans. I never saw anything not even close to what Audie Murphy was.. Audie Murphy was great actor but he was also the greatest military hero. During the 2nd WWA he demonstrated courage and valor against the enemy. To this day he still is the most decorated soldier of all times. He earned the Medal of Honor and so many other awards he got every award the military had. He saved many american soldiers, he is just the greatest american hero. Audie Murphy has my total respect and admiration.

That's what socialism is all about, and why the young generation wants it. They feel their mere existence entitles them to literally EVERYTHING, and at the expense of the labor of others. And because they're morally corrupted, you can't get those ideas out of their heads by any kind of reasoning. They're entitled to anything they want, and government's job - in their minds - is to take it from you and give it to them. They pretend to hate "slavery" but FEEL that others should be their slaves, to provide for them. The hypocrisy is so blatant because their level of spoiled is beyond anything ever seen before. They've never known a real problem so, ironically, everything is a problem for them, and they'll commit suicide at the drop of a hat to prove that life really is just too harsh for them and they need ever more molly coddling and free stuff from others.

Also a government that is no longer by the people nor for the people.

The Army gave him a sense of purpose and self respect that he'd never have gotten had he stayed home in the Texas dust bowl he was in. He wanted to make a life long career of the Army. He had an appointment to West Point. His battle wounds put an end to both. My Dad also wanted to make a career of the Army, but he was injured in WW2 as well. And like father like son... Some of us are just cut out for it. Doesn't mean we enjoy war. Audie Murphy was a great actor, but he said it himself... The movies were the same, just different horses. To be honest, there's no viable reason why the Army couldn't have let him stay in. Even if there wasn't the Korean war and Vietnam 10 & 20 years later, he still would have been an great asset. The sad part is that despite his best efforts, he never found anything to give him the fulfillment the Army did. Just like Eliot Ness (the Untouchables) never found his niche after Prohibition ended... Best regards to you !

@@baronedipiemonte3990 I read that he joined the Texas Army National Guard after WW II and was promoted to Major. That was probably a state rank but possibly it was federally recognized. His position in the guard might have been ceremonial only considering his acting career. But none the less, it should have been mentioned.

True hero.

Audie should never be forgotten. Our army generals are all woke and teaching our young men and women to be fruits.

Audie would support the generals. It is not cowardice to admit to having battle shock.

Audie Murphy was my hero growing up after I saw the movie To Hell and Back and the book is even better. He donated on of his revolver's to the Cody Cowboy museum, and it's on my bucket list to see it. I've been blessed to have a good friend, a retired jockey who rode for him. He tell's me about when they would go out to dinner and thing's, I can't get enough of it. God Bless you Audie Murphy and R.I.P.

A quirk is I work in the industry Audie loves horse racing and yet causes of his financial losses and demise. It seems so tragic to learn of his passing by airplane crash. My father was U S Army Engineer and Infantry too as a sharpshooter. He had three boys. He never spoke about the action or about World War II in the Philippines 😮. He is always a stern but loving father. Join the American Legion or Son or Daughter of a VFW post near you. Your parentage may qualify you to join. Please check. It is a great cause to support.

Great ending mentioning who the real heroes are. Tough he probably wouldn't agree, Audie Murphy certainly stands in the front ranks of heroes.

He was a HERO in every sense of the word. He was my father's age. I pray 🙏 his memory lives forever.

Yes he was. Thanks tj921able!

I always liked him. Great looking guy as well xxx

I'm trying to remember where I was near Memorial Day when Audie Murphy was killed in that plane crash in 1971. I was 17 years old, I remember hearing about it at the time. But, his life had not impacted my life so much as it does now. God bless YOU Audie Murphy, for your service. From a friend in arms who served in the Army, too

This was a great tribute to a great man. It was sad that his life ended way to soon.

Unlike John Wayne and Ronald Reagan, Audie Murphy was an authentic war hero who was one of my favorite western stars. It is very ironic that this Texas born star played in the civil war movie depicting a northern soldier! Audie Murphy's life was almost sad as it was triumphant. At one time his grave was the most visited in arlington after John F. Kennedy.

James arness, aka marshall Matt Dillon of Dodge, also was a war hero, who received many medals. Ronald reagan and John Wayne were not the real deal. Bravo Audie Murphy! Big Jim arness is gone now, as are so many if our world war 2 veterans. I am so grateful for their service.

@@HartmutJagerArt Reagan and Wayne also contributed to the war effort in their own way. When Reagan entered the service he was recruited to make training movies for all the different branches and to sell war bonds. Wayne made many movies intended to boost public opinion that we had to win, he also sold bonds to finance the war effort. WWII was the last war where a majority of all citizens were involved in contributing to the war effort, and while all were not heros like Murphy, all were necessary in bringing the war to an end.

That was heart wrenching! I have a huge lump in my throat. Such a sad story of such a wonderful man!

I saw his movie in 1955, moved me then and still does, lovely man just 45 that is so sad...x

Audie Murphy is a great American and a marvelous actor he is missed.

Thank you for this little film about Audie Murphy. I am almost 80 years old now. He was my hero when I was a child and he is still my hero. He was one of a kind. My WWII uncle taught me about Audie. I hope we never forget him.

Great Job Narrating this video He was a True American Hero
