By January 1945 Audie Murphy was already a legend within the US Army. Having fought non stop since 1943, he was a highly decorated nineteen-year-old Lieutenant when on 26th January 1945 in the Colmar Pocket he earned the Medal of Honor for holding off 250 Germans for over an hour, alone.
This is the remarkable story of the most decorated US serviceman of the Second World War.

More importantly, he said Audie was a regular Joe. No pride or pretense about him. He was, truly, a hero. We were deprived of him far to early. RIP Audie.

To them, as it has been proven, they are meat for a grinder with no real if positive goals to help and attacked people like Ukraine. Their people have been invaded, murdered and raped, grain and resources stolen… yet despite the mounds of evidence, you agree with truly fascist imperialist invaders or a sovereign nation…. I would hope you aren’t that type of person. Also, if you are, don’t bring whataboutism In here…

When I was in the U.S. Army I was stationed in Germany and I was in the same unit Audie had been in B COMPANY 1/15 3RD INFANTRY. We were not reffered to as Bravo Company but as the Audie Murphy Company , whenever we saluted an Officer we would exclaim AUDIE MURPHY SIR !! In H.Q. there was also a large portrait of Audie hanging at the end of the hall , I never got tired of looking at it . His movie TO HELL AND BACK was also mandatory viewing lol. The Army has never forgotten Audie. 🇺🇸

    • Soldiers come and go. Their living is simple, and their life complicated. But more complicating is their experience in war years are devastating. Face to face with death. Some maybe warriors in hearts, others priests of solitude and peace-makers. Still numerous are pacifists not the kind who look for trouble. Many others prefer one-man army banzai charge into the frontline with fix biyonets. Majority do battle with technology designed to kill thousands or even millions. After all these tumultous affray called war settles the conflict peacefully when one party and the opposing side annihilated. How much war humanity to wage so that peace be attained. To the survivors in war, life is precious. To the dead only them seen the end of war, US Army General Douglas Macarthur once said of the dead soldier.

  • I "fell in love" with Mr. Murphy when I was a little girl and saw him for the first time at the movies. The more I learned about him as I grew up, the more I loved him and the more pride I had in him and for him. It always made me cry when I heard or read about him having one of his PTSD flashbacks. When I learned that he had died I was devastated. In 1971 I was in the first year of my Navy 7 years of service and stationed at Ft. Myers, VA right next to Arlington Cemetery. He was and always will be my greatest "love" and hero in my heart. He was one of a kind.

  • I’ve been an avid student of WW2 for 25 years and finally just came across this story. It’s apparent that Murphy had ALL the right stuff. Perhaps fearless to a fault, his bravery applied to the battle at hand and winning. He fought smart and tough as nails in the most extraordinary set of circumstances one can imagine. What kept that burning tank destroyer from exploding while he stood atop it firing the 50 cal machine gun for more than an hour only God knows. Just moments after dismounting did it finally blow suggests a transcendent instinct that we don’t often experience in ordinary life. Not everyone is cut out for a heroic performance in a deadly hail of flying hot metal, but Murphy was, and he did what no commander would order a subordinate to do, and he did it with the highest degree of tactical awareness and battlefield cunning. And after this and prior battlefield successes of a similar magnitude, he declared his proudest moment to be hearing the news the war had ended. This expresses the clearest embodiment of archetypal warrior I can think of.

  • In 1983 I reported for duty with the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment on Harvey Kaserne in Kitzingen, Germany. There was a company formation from Bravo Company and I thought it was rather odd that when the formation was called to attention, the unit shouted out the name of a German auto company (Audi). Of cource, my error became apparent when I was introduced to the hall of the battalion headquarters with photos and awards write ups for many of the Regiment's Medal of Honor winners. Needless to say, Audie Murphy had the central place of honor among the many honored.

  • I'm Canadian. I was brought up being with nothing but respect for Canadian and American armed forces. That was in the 1950's till now. Murphy was one of my favorites. Alot of westerns. But after watching his life story, respect reached a higher height. I tried to join when 18, but medical didn't pass. Eyes and hearing didn't pass. Was pretty disappointed.

  • That last bit of information about his headstone is very telling. Humility is an attribute I think that is lost in today’s American young people.

  • I am a German, born 8 years after the war. I am so grateful to all allied heroes who freed Europe and Germany from Hitler. We could and still can live in a free Europe and develop democracy thanks to such great heroes as Audie Murphy. Now I understand that he was something even more special, one in a millon.
