Audie Murphy

I'm not sure of his height, but I know he was quite short. He was at Ft. Leonard Wood when I graduated from basis training in 1960. He was in the reviewing stand .

There is a guy on you tube that does videos on famous people. Title is something like "What ever happened to ...........". He did a really nice piece on Audie. Lots of footage of his museum in his hometown and they spliced in parts of "To Hell and Back" when talking about his military exploits.

You might try searching youtube.

I always liked "Night Passage" with Audie and Jimmy Stewart.

Taking a river cruise on the Rhine River in April. One of the day trips is to the site where Audie Murphy won his Medal of Honor. I plan to go.

If you are ever in SW Virginia near Roanoke, you can hike up on Brushy Mountain where he died in the plane crashed and visit the memorial there.
