I had the honor of visiting Arlington late last year. I paid my respects to Audie Murphy and others. His grave is not far from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I was surprised that his grave stone was just as plain as the other veterans buried there. I had thought that his grave would be more decorated as he himself had become. I believe that he wouldn't have wanted his memorial to be any more special than the others. God bless him and all the others who served in all the nation's conflicts.

I went to Arlington Cemetery famous today and l was very impressed However I'm also very disappointed that Audie Murphy is hardly acknowledged except for a poster style picture at the exit. I think this is an utter disgrace and I'm very disappointed. Surely his life story should be told. He was after all America's most decorated soldier ever and was a good humble peaceful man who was instrumental in bringing about the recognition and treatment of PTSD. It's no wonder he suffered with it himself. Shame on the powers that be. I am so surprised and shocked that America does not honour him more than nearly not at all. He was an still is a true hero.

@charlottethompson2725 4 жыл бұрын

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was shocked that so little was said about Audie. "and to your left is the grave of Audie Murphy the most decorated soldier of WWII." But you know, his grave is the second visit next to JFK.

He was a boy who became a man very early in life. He was great, but he lived. There were many other soldiers who died, and no one wrote up a commendation for them from that generation. He was a brother to some of the finest men this country has ever produced. I sometimes wonder how great this country would have been if more of these men survived.

I have become an Audie Murphy fan. Moreso now, than when I was a kid. I find his acting to be quite good. He is natural. He plays his roles in an understated, and believable way. He never overacts, which I think some of the greats did -- like Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole. His range was limited. He could never do Streetcar Named Desire, for instance. At least, I don't think so. Yet, his performance in Red Badge of Courage was moving and amazingly skilled.

Even tho Audie Murrpy deserved being a hero so didn't a lot of people and Audie knew this. That generation at that time in history was very very tough and their up bringing show in WW2.

He was the only MOH receipitant in that conflict opening the road to Burma. Audie Murphy was a great hero and did great things for the veterans. Just thought I would put in a note about another man who was a hero in the eyes of the men he served with. He was one that laid down his life for the freedom we have today.

Hollywood was famous for recycling footage and fil sets. When researching the 3 Stooges, Moe Howard said that they would have to right a script around a movie set that was left over from filming before it was dismantled. I believe that he sustained seven wounds during the battle including one in the leg that they thought would have to be amputated, but he eventually recovered from it and went on to Hollywood with a very slight limp.

History tends to be based on your perspective as to whether you believe what's true or not and it's often not black and white but shades of grey. These days, 3 years after you posted this, the truth is continually twisted and ignored all in the name of doing what someone thinks is best. And often the things we should be ashamed of and want to change aren't told because people only want to hear what they believe. So truth is often painful but it must be heard and taught.
