Audie Murphy is a living legend even today some 38 years after his passing and almost 65 years from when his name first made the National Press followinh his heroic one man stand against the Nazi onslaught against his Company position in World War Two.
He ordered his unit to withdraw to prepared safe locations and alone held off an estimated 250 enemy soldiers and six King Tiger tanks for over an hour that were attacking his position from three sides.
this young kid with only a fifth grade education became a name synomious with freedom and he won the hearts and admiration of the American people.
This is a great video Tribute to the great Audie Murphy posted on You Tube.
Very moving and touching to this great American hero and legend.
