Here is the Medal of Honor citation of this legendary American soldier:
Medal of Honor Citation:
"Second Lieutenant Audie L. Murphy, 01692509, 15th Infantry, Army of the United States, on 26 January 1945, near Holtzwihr, France, commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry. Lieutenant Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to a prepared position in a woods while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him to his right one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. Lieutenant Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, Lieutenant Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer which was in danger of blowing up any instant and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to the German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate Lieutenant Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he personally killed or wounded about 50. Lieutenant Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective."

When you take the collective stories of everyone of these heroes into account and then think about how they are endorsing Audie Murphy for a Pres. Medal of Freedom, it says quite a lot.

Maybe it's because my service to America was during a relatively peaceful time for this country but regardless every time I try to comprehend the sacrifices made by America's truly heroic people I keep getting them over and over again!

Awesome!

[@Peter43John]

Lt. Murphy certainly deserved the medal of honor-I just saw his awesome performance in 1951's The Red Badge of Courage and could see his performance was clearly rooted in his own personal experiences as a combat soldier!......... -HOWEVER, the Medal of Freedom is bestowed by the President as the highest CIVILIAN award in the nation: NOT a military decoration!

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

Peter, I'm not sure if I understand your comment. Yes Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military honor. This petition and the endorsements on this video, is for a current campaign to award Audie Murphy, the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation's highest civilian honor. The nomination will not be based upon his heroism in WWII or his acting career, but rather for his outspokenness as a pioneer in PTSD awareness and the effects of this debilitating illness as well as for his public advocacy of better treatment in our VA facilities of our nation's returning veterans from Korea and Vietnam. Thanks!

[@Peter43John]

Audie Murphy American Legend I was not aware of Lt. Murphy's service AFTER being discharged from the Army. Guess I forgot that you do not need to be active military to serve your country! In that case, I fully support the Medal of Freedom being bestowed upon him!

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

Peter, thanks for the understanding and comment. Murphy was the epitome o not only a great soldier but a great American and patriot. Postwar he was plagued by the nightmares associated with it and they continued until his demise in a light plane crash in 1971. If you have a moment please Google "Audie Murphy Petition Draws Major Endorsements." The article was published on the government oversight website watchdogwire.com. I penned that really in short order delves into Murphy's PTSD issues with actual quotes from him and the problems that followed him as a result of the war. I think you will find it interesting. He was a very sad guy that never was able to find peace in his short life. If you have a moment and would endorse the petition (link provided in article) it would be appreciated. Finally, please feel free to share this video with anyone who might have interest in this subject! Thanks again!

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

Peter, I would also recommend that you view the video on my channel "Audie Murphy Presidential Medal of Freedom Campaign Endorsements (HD)." It is rather lengthy but will show you how well respected he is even today some 40 years after his passing. The petition, I might add, has been endorsed by more than 100 generals and admirals, of who 60 are four star officers. Also including moonwalkers, former Secretaries of Defense and Secretaries of the Army, members of the U.S. Congress, governors, celebrities (including Toby Keith etc.). The musical soundtrack is quite nice as well, I think! Thanks again!

[@Peter43John]

Audie Murphy American Legend I am happy that he used his notoriety to serve as an advocate for all of his fellow servicemen who fought in the war. With over 5 million men in uniform from 1941-1945, I'm sure he fought hard for every single one of them after the war. Being a history teacher, I'm well aware without guys like Murphy, we would all be speaking German, Italian, & Japanese today and I will be happy to support the petition -but the greatest thing you can say is- "Audie Murphy: AMERICAN!"

Well, he was awarded the Medal of Honor was awarded 1/26/1945 and why folks don't seem to know this is beyond me. Google it and see for yourselves. This Citation was awarded to Audie Murphy for “Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity Involving Risk of Life Above and Beyond the Call of Duty In Action With the Enemy”, 26 January 1945. The citation reads: 2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, 1 of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt.

He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective.

No. It's basically an award the President bestows on someone for civilian activity though so it differs substantially from the Medal of Honor which can only be awarded to military. Congress has one too called the Congressional Gold Medal. The blue Medal of Honor really shouldn't be preceded by the term Congressional, but it's awarded by the President in congress' name... that's where that overlap evolved from.

Gen Patton's tactics are taught at West Point today Gen Patton's 3rd Army destroyed a German army in France a few months after the D day landings . Jungle fighting like Vietnam is where tanks are useless .

John Mcgoo President Johnson directed Missions from the white house and Hanoi and the main communist ports were off limits . So what's the difference THIS PRESIDENT IS BLACK I was in the air force 72-76 , They always tried to give blacks and Hispanics bad discharges for bull crap reasons ,

Shit must have gotten real close if a major general got a MOH

He was a CORPORAL when he was awarded the MOH.

Audie Murphy was a Lieutenant not a Major :o

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

Mitchell, sorry to inform you but Audie Murphy was a Major. He ended WWII as a 1st Lieutenant and during Korea re-entered the Army National Guard and later Army Reserve as a Captain. When he as placed on the retired list in 1969 he held the rank of Major.

[@GloonieTheRogue]

his Obituary states him as a 1st Lt, Didn't know he served in Korea, don't know why he would after the hell he saw in WWII

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

He did not serve in Korea. He served during the Korean War but did not deploy overseas, although that was his desire at the time he re-entered the Army. Thanks!

[@Casey28027]

He was a Major in the Texas National Guard.

[@AudieMurphyAmericanLegend]

Casey, you are correct, Captain in the Texas National Gurd and later Major in the Army Reserve.

[@zayosgaming6572]

I'm so glad Audie is my distant relative

[@ferminalarcon9787]

Audie Murphy deserves it. But what I'm looking at is that only White's bled for this country.. what about all the Mexican Americans and blacks the blood and were heroic..? Shift aside so only white is decorated I served and saw just how biased they were.. USMC. 1971-75

Good cause, but in actuality, Audie wouldn't care. He would probably refuse it. Think about WWAD? (What Would Audie Do).

[@doonsbury9656]

From what I have read about Audie Murphy, I would be inclined to agree with Wm Cottrell to a degree. I don't think that Murphy care about this particular honor. But if it were to be conferred on him, I don't think he would refuse it as he would have too much respect for the tradition behind it.

[@juliemerritt5144]

Doonsbury that is because ww2 soldiers never considered themselves heroes, they will tell you those who died are heroes, and they were grateful to return home.

I guess the question mark is implying the status of the award. It was submitted to President Obama and never received a response. It will soon be sent to President Trump. We'll see what happens.

I signed the petition on audiemurphy.com please everyone do so. maybe even trump will award him this medal. greatest American hero of ww2

He is not America's most Decorated Combat Soldier sorry to say, A man by the Name of Co. Robert Lewis Howard is. Col. Howard is the only man in history to ever be nominated for the Medal of Honor 3 separate times in one 16 month period, but they changed the law so he was awarded one and two DSC. 8 purple Hearts, 7 silver stars 4 bronze stars, he was the most decorated soldiers ever in one 54 month period, he was wounded 14 times. He served 5 tours of duty in Vietnam. Look him up.

Thank you Sir, truly noted he was one my greatest influences. Met him in 1989 in Yonseng, Korea, he was my R.O.K. Ranger Commander, and helped in my career.

@@remowilliams623 see that high horse you are on get off it he was the most decorated US combat soldier of W11 not of all time no one said he was. You are trying to argue because you like to be forever right. Maj Murphy did not serve in Vietnam where your favourite did and where he became the most decorated US combat soldier which is truly special but why bring that up on a post which has nothing to with that fact. Basically your point is mute.

Why the big deal over the presidential Medal of freedom. Its more of a political publicity award than anything else. He was awarded the MOH why do you want some celebrity award added below that

[@paulpiornack6653]

with all due respect to audie murphy and all other cmh recipients, please look up matt urban before you anoint mr. murphy with the most decorated label. the military made a mistake and lost paperwork and i don't think matt urban fit hollywood's image off a movie star. in fact, i know he didn't i had the honor of being in his presence on more than on occasion. depending on who wrote the article, matt urban was the most decorated soldier from world war 2 and the state of michigan is proud to claim him as our own.
