On June 20th 1924 in a small town near Kingston, Texas, Audie Murphy was born to a large, yet impoverished share-cropping family. Over the years, the Industrial Revolution took a toll on his family as his father abandoned them and his mother died. With his amazing perseverance and courage, the underweight, underage determined boy went on to become the most highly decorated U.S. Soldier in history. Single handedly fighting off 250 men and six tanks and receiving the Medal of Honor as well as thirty-two additional U.S. and foreign medals, Audie Murphy truly is the individual in history.This Website is a thorough look into the life and legacy of the great American hero and also accomplished movie star, Audie Murphy.
