The Texas Bucket List - Audie Murphy Museum

We stop at the Audie Murphy Museum to learn about a famous Texan who conquered not only the battlefields of World War II, but the silver screen in Hollywood as well.

I am from Ky. and I am one of the biggest Murphy fans alive, to my opinion. He was a great man. I don't think no one could ever accompolish his achievements. Love you Audy and your westerns.

[@FP194]

Hero in an understatement

[@unseelie63]

Audie Murphy has my profound respect,and always will.Everything he did in the war,he did to protect his fellow soldiers,and then suffered from PTSD for the rest of his too-short life.He had a part in the recognition of what's now known as PTSD and treatment offered to fellow sufferers,and even when he was in trouble financially,wouldn't accept lucrative offers to appear in ads for cigarettes and alcohol because he felt it would be a bad example for young people.An extraordinary human being.

So True.

[@voicegirl555]

It as 50 years ago today that he died. A true hero! A wonderful actor! A natural actor! I love watching him on screen. Thank you Audie Murphy for all you did for this country and all those films you left behind.

[@carollawrence935]

Audie Murphy was the best Billy the Kid that I have ever seen. I have watched "To Hell and Back", his story. I have several copies of this movie. I also have his book. He had a small museum that My husband, myself and two friends visited many years ago. I could NOT believe his Uniform. His medals hung clear to his waist. It was inspiring. Now his Museum now is a large one or so I have been told.

THE REAL DEFINITION OF A HERO & A REAL DEFINITION OF A GREAT PERSON.

My childhood hero and role model. Got to visit the museum this summer. Best weekend I've had in a while. Have a picture taken standing next to his statue at the museum entrance. Treasured. Obviously very happy I got to visit this place. This was at the top of my bucket list. Peace to all.

[@ddwchamp]

He will always be my hero. When I was a little boy I watched To Hell and Back and I was hooked. Today, I enjoy watching his westerns. Bro. Audie, enjoy your Rewards and Rest!

[@billcarr5306]

Audie was a hero to everybody he was a brave man.

[@johnwakamatsu3391]

I never met Audie Murphy but, my father met him many years ago. My father was a 1st Sergeant 442 RCT Fox Company in WWII and trained three soldiers that received the Medal of Honor. I met one of them and several other MOH veterans and they were very humble. I was told many times that the real heroes are the ones that died during the war. I thank Audie Murphy and all of the veterans that served our country.

[@taurektaurek6213]

Bigger than life! Give him the Medal of Freedom! He was not only a real war hero but also openly spoke about his mental issues /PTSD.. that is brave and honest and true by all standatds I can imagine..

[@gails8877]

I have watched his movie at least a dozen times. As humble as he seemed to be Im sure the movie is mild compared to how violent the many campaigns he was involved in. To be recognized as the bravest man in WWII is so amazing considering his age. He must have been very kind in his personal life after the war. Some of the actors were friends in his real life. Good job Texas remembering a TRUE HERO

Rest in Peace Audie and Thank You For Your Service. God Bliss You,

[@matthewfranke9988]

A short man from Texas A man of the wild Thrown into combat Where bodies lie piled Hides his emotions His blood's running cold Just like his victories His story unfolds Bright A white light If there'd be Any glory in war Let it rest On men like him Who went to hell and came back

Still hoping Sabaton does a song for the Alamo.

[@edithsymmans3273]

Thank you ever so much for this awesome video, it's a great posting about this truly great man, Audie Leon Murphy.... Though this was posted back on October 23rd, 2015 I myself have only just come across it, it is brilliant an eye opener for all.... From my early childhood I have always truly adored, admired, respected, loved and honoured Audie Leon Murphy as a very young child back in the early 1950's.... That's when my Daddy and Grandpa told me all about Audie and he has remained my big hero next to my Daddy and Grandpa.... A real life true hero who stated the boys who died over there were the real hero's, Audie himself hated being called a hero.... An extremely humble man all his life, a real true patriot to his country, he felt it was an honour and a privilege to serve his country along the side of the other boys.... Audie was a truly blessed man to come home by the grace of God above.... I have learned everything that I could about this little Texan whom still stands as a giant of a man among all others.... Coming from an extremely humble back ground Audie did all he could to help his family from a very tender age and continued doing so after his beloved Mom passed, the Army was the next step in the direction that was to lead him on to greater things... Audie became a best selling author, a great little actor, the best western actor, also acted in other movies and show as well.... Audie went on to write some eighty or more songs, mostly country songs, the best known is "Shutters and Boards", plus he also composed and arranged music, wrote poetry, what an enormous talent for a man with only a fifth grade education, nothing was to stop this little man from Texas as he just took it all in his stride through out his life.... Audie did some things during WWll that will never be done again, he always put himself in harms way to protect his men when he was leading them, his action on that burning Tank Destroyer just shows the true calibre of the man himself.... WE MUST NEVER FORGET AUDIE LEON MURPHY AND HIS TRULY REMARKABLE COURAGE AND BRAVERY DURING WWll AFTER ALL HE IS AMERICA'S REAL LIFE TRUE HERO WHO FELT IT TRULY AN HONOUR AND PRIVILEGE TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM NOT ONLY FOR AMERICA BUT ALSO FOR THE WORLD.... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE AUDIE LEON MURPHY YOU PLAYED YOUR PART IN LIFE SO WELL YOU ARE A BLESSED SON.

[@Lava1964]

I definitely want to visit this museum.

[@danphillips1468]

Audie Murphy the only actor whose real life was bigger than any movie He made except of coarse "To Hell and Back" where He played Himself!!!

Heaven is for Heroes, R.I.P.

[@wchicago9541]

A real American hero.

[@byronsamuel3570]

Audie was a true hero not only for his obvious heroics but because he was humble and truly loved and respected this country. Mostly though he was always a giving.person without expecting anything in return.He was the kind of person we all should strive to be!

[@patriciacolombini6567]

Good night sweet prince.RIP

[@povluffyOriginal]

If audie murphy was alive i would look up to him as my #2 hero because god is the one who protected audie murphy at warso god is #1 hero

[@NLINE7]

I never got to meet Audie, but I grew up knowing his sister and her two boy's. His sister now I believe is in her early 90"s now and is still alive, she lives about a mile from me. I have not seen her boy's Audie's nephews in years. It's something he went through that WWII war as a hero and ended up dying in a plane crash in his 40's.

[@uofa82]

Incredible!! 👏❤️🇨🇱🇺🇸‼️

[@chrisn7259]

He underestimated his acting talent. Her gave many sterling performances.

[@Michaelbos]

Hero, a real hero, before they use that word for every stupid foolish thing. The sensitive thin skin people we have today, couldn't wash this man's socks.

[@YSLRD]

Yeah. It's an abomination to put him in the same camp as gricery clerks.

[@williammawk9626]

A great read is his book To Hell And Back.

I would like to be a person like audie murphy but idk if i can succeed

[@SKY-jv9ue]

If his butt was at the ALAMO, he would be dead! But still he's an American hero...even if Hollywood helped a bit!

[@juan-carlostome7127]

I wonder who the people are that have his medals?

[@marygoodwin2349]

His sisters. There is a vid on KZbin

@@marygoodwin2349 I'm glad to hear that. I thought he had just given them away over time.
