Audie Murphy was my father's hero. My father fought in many of the same battles as did Audie Murphy during WWII. Said he never met him but heard quite a bit about him during the war.
To my shame, I suspected much of "To Hell and Back" was a lot of Hollywood hype. Then I read the actual military commendations on the Audie Murphy site. That movie wasn't long enough to reflect all that did happen.
The closest I came to meeting Audie Murphy was in meeting one of his horses. He had a beautiful sorrel mare in the stall next to our mare. Never had much use for sorrels but this one got my attention because she was so perfectly built. Found out a couple of days later that she belonged to Audie Murphy.
How about Audi Murphy?
