When I visited Arlington a few years ago, I was intrigued to see that Audie Murphy's grave had no American flag like the one on DoughtyOne's photo.

Instead, it was marked by a single Texas flag.

We Texans definitely do remember this favorite son of ours, and because of the Texas observance of his birthday, I think we will remember him for a long time to come. But I wonder how long Americans on the whole will remember Audie.

Thanks for the post.

They still remember York. I think they'll remember Murphy. Someone will do a movie and remind them of him. As for his grave site, I think it's great to see a Texas flag there. I wouldn't mind placing a California flag there also. It would be nice to see flags there from a number of states. Thanks for the comments.

As long as there is a US Army we will remember Audie Murphy. There is a SGT Audie Murphy club that NCO's are inducted in and the 3RD Infantry Division sings the Audie Murphy song everyday before PT. He is one of the most revered soldiers in the Army, and his legend along with Alvin York's gets passsed on all the time.
