"To Hell and Back" staring Audie Murphy. The story of the most decorated hero of WWII fighting with my beloved 3rd Infantry Division. They're on their way to Kuwait as we speak. "Rock of the Marne" and FReep on!!!

I just watched "Saving Private Ryan" for the 10th time. Enemy at the Gates, while not about American soldiers, is very good. And if I could please recommend a book, get "Ghost Soldiers" by Hampton Sides. It is a great book.

Murph played himself in that movie. Actually, the book was much, much better than the movie. One of the best books I've ever read. The movie didn't have time to show his achievements the way they really were. It downplayed what he actually did.

Some of my friends call me Murph because I'm such a fan.
