As I recall, Murphy used the .50 cal machine gun on the turret of a disabled tank destroyer to engage the approaching Germans and break up their attack. That TD could have exploded at any time. That took some nerve.Walt

Remember that Audie represents hundreds of thousands of WW2 infantrymen who were never truly recognized for their courage above and beyond the call of duty.

Remember them and the sacrifices they made when the Government tells us they can't stop the next terrorist assault on the USA or when they tell you they cannot provide enough bomb detection equipment to airports.

We still have these kinds of people in the USA, we just lack the kind of leadership and moral clarity of their generation.

I certainly hope the statue does not depict Audie Murphy as a white male just because he was. This statue should represent a diverse multi-cultural, sexual orientation optional society.

Cool, this is a great idea!

"ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA",real heros like AUDIE L.MURPHY were talked about by its people and taught to young people in her schools!To those with an interest you can see a portrayal of AUDIE L. MURPHY'S life in the movie,"TO HELL AND BACK".In the meantime we will have to settle for hollywoods crummy movies about NOTHING AND NO ONE!
