Fri Sep 30, 2005 9:06 pm
I just finished watching "To Hell and Back". It's the true life story of Audie Murhpy (well Hollywoodized)... Some of you old timers may remember Audie Murphy, the actor and hero.
For those of you who don't know, Audie Murphy was the most decorated US soldier in WWII. He won every medal of valor the US has and 5 additional medals from France and Belgium. He fought in 7 major US campains and won the Congressional medal of Honor... all by the time he was 19 years old! He enlised when he was 16!
Here is a link to the medals he won.

Unfortunately he was killed in a plane accident in 1971.
Here's to Audie Murphy. May his memory live forever.
