[quote="Dr. Deleto":1c60f]Yeah, Audie Murphy was America's most decorated soldier....ever! To Hell and Back is his own autobiography of WW2. Best part of the movie is HE STARS AS HIMSELF! Thats right, the man who really did all those things actually stars in a movie about himself. He won the medal of honor for telling his company to retreat, climbing on a burning U.S. Tank Destroyer, and taking on an entire german battalion by himself. You have to watch it to see all the medals he got, but the whole movie leads up to that point. It shows everything, including how he lost every freind he had in the army and how he solidifies against freindship because of it. Audie died in the 70's in a plane crash, so watch the movie to honor the man.[/quote:1c60f]

I saw his grave in Arlington cemetary last september.
