If America had 1 Audie Murphy in Congress, we wouldn't be where we are today!

[@defenestrationfan]

There are no words to describe his humility and heroism. This should be taught in our schools.

[@prelude2pain]

Audie Murphy was the living embodiment of how actions define who you are. The facts that he was a man of small stature and came for a poor background didn’t stop him from developing a hulking legend.

In 1956 I worked with with a man who was an extra in the movie . He had been one of the German infantry attacking the Tank Destroyer. Five times he died that day in the filming. 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.

Audie Murphy was one of the finest Men to ever live. He spent time in my Father's unit during WWII. My Father told me "He was the bravest, toughest, most down to earth and friendly Man he ever had the privilege to know". Murphy was a Sargent at that time. My Dad was a Captain.

"For the first time in three days, my feet were warm"

[@b.thomas8926]

He did more by 19 that what hardly anyone else had done in their entire lives. Amazing.

[@stevenklinkhamer9069]

Sargent York in WWI & Audie Murphy in WWII are two heroes who really stand out amongst a great company of heroes back then.

[@mushroommanny]

Audie Murphy was from my hometown - he was the same build as me - short and slender. His story inspired me to join the USMC and I served honorably until honorably discharged as a sergeant. Very glad to see something like this on youtube.

[@andresdeks]

When I was conscripted in 1984 our instructor used to ask us “ do you think you are Audie Murphy?” Even in South Africa he was a legend

[@bryanzam1412]

And Audie Murphy remained kind , considerate , and moral , even after the war . A truly great man will maintain who is as a man no matter the circumstances.

[@jacobmalloy4258]

Him wanting a headstone just like the rest of his brothers is no surprise.

[@stulynn2005]

I've known about Audie for fifty years and still tear up hearing the story of his spirit and courage as a young man

[@ianlamb2123]

What an absolute hero.Audie should be remembered for ever.

[@dreamsofsnow6521]

I've commented on a couple of Audie Murphy videos , I'll do 1 more .

[@stevenm3141]

He calculated the odds and figured I've got nothing to lose, then gave it everything he had! A true soldier and hero. Blessings to Murphy family.

[@Albert-Mag...]

My dad served in The Royal Canadian Navy during WW2. Audie was a living legend. The old man loved to watch Audie Murphy's movies.🇺🇸 🇨🇦 💪

[@orusandornots1915]

Dude was a real life Captain America.

[@jamespence9469]

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.
