    I'm Scottish, and Audie Murphy is my hero, i absolutely adore him, he was an amazing soldier, actor, it breaks my heart that he died so young. He will never be forgotten. 🌹

    Audie Murphy was a man of true grit. He volunteered to serve his country and saw the horrors of war. In another interview about his experiences in the war I could tell that he was severely impacted by what he went through, I wish we could have offered him the help that's available now. I am extremely proud of him and what he did for us. A fellow Texan who represents the character and resolve of our people in this great state. I salute you and I thank you.

      Speaking of True Grit, Audie should have starred in that movie instead of that draft dodging fake John Wayne...
      What a total CHARLATAN....
      God rest your brave soul Audie Murphy !!!

    Damn good Soldier, damn good cowboy and a damn good man its a shame we lost him he inspired a lot of boys who became men regardless what they became army, navy, marine or airforce. We may fight each other in the bar but when anyone tried to hurt any of us we all stood proud. Thank you for sharing your video my compliments sir

    What can one say , about Audie Murphy, what words could we use to describe him. Brave, honorable, strong, humble, a soldier, an American, a son, a husband, a father, a friend, a good man,an intelligent man, an actor, there are so many words that we could use, to describe him, they all seem so inadequate ,but we all Thank God that we had his presence on this earth. He died way too young. He would have contributed so much more to our world, had he lived. He left a legacy ,for all of us. His extrodinary life ,sets an example, of what all of us ,could be. Thank you Audie , may you rest in blessed peace. 🇱🇷

    Audie Murphy narrates this so wonderfully to help us all understand what nuclear weapons are about and the way that the armed services are using them to help protecting the free world.... As I watch this again tonight I remember watching it with Daddy and my Grandpa as a young child and I found it fascinating learning about what these missiles capabilities were.... My gosh, just to think if nuclear missiles were available in WWll the destruction would have been emence and far greater than those weapons that were used in WWll.... Audie Murphy not only played his part in the war, but in civilian life he still played his part to help us all understand the enormity of just how frail peace could be if nothing was done to protect the world.... The great Audie Leon Murphy the most highly decorated soldier in history, he lived in fear during those three years of the war, that fear helped to keep him alive and bring him home to his beloved family, his brothers and sisters.... He may have only been a young lad of 16 when he enlisted but at 19 he came home a man....
    REST IN PEACE AUDIE LEON MURPHY YOU SERVED YOUR COUNTRY WITH COURAGE, PATRIOTISM, PRIDE, AND YOUR HELL BENT DETERMINATION TO HELP MAKE THE GERMANS PAY FOR KILLING YOUR FRIENDS PLUS FORCE THEM TO GO A RUNNING BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.... YOU ARE A HERO TO EVERY MAN, WOMEN AND CHILD IN THE FREE WORLD SINCE 1945....
    YOU ARE STILL REMEMBERED, MISSED AND LOVED AS A HUMBLE MAN, A TRUE HERO...
    THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED YOUR HEROISM.

    From a boy that had to drop out of school at 14 to spokesman for the Army. What a trip he has taken, If only we had more like him in our country. I get choked up just thinking of all the awards he received and all the battles he helped win.

    My hero when I was growing up. What a shame that he suffered for so many years from his experiences in the war and that tragically, he died so young at age 45. I wish I could have had the honor of meeting this man and shaking his hand. His grave-site will be the first on my list to pay respects to when I can visit Arlington Cemetery.

    Growing up in the late '50's, early '60's, he was my hero! I remember watching this in school in the sixth grade, when our class was studying atomic energy. From a film projector, a relic of the past. Don't suppose anyone younger than 50 remembers what that was.

    Audie Murphy would be about 35 years old here, and he still looks like he's just 19. When he fought the war he looked like he was 12. So meek and soft spoken.

    13:00 The solution ended up being Ronald Reagan, Margret Thatcher, and Pope John-Paul II. I was stationed in Germany 14 years after this was filmed and visited the Hitler Stadium a number of times. Some neo-nazis still saw it as some symbol of glory. All I saw it as a memorial to defeat. I am thankful we had some men like Mr. Murphy to set the standard.

    I've been to every place in Germany that Audie was and more.
    I patrolled that border many times.
    Zeppeliln Field where Hitler used to speak to troops had been refurbished sometime between when Audie was there and the late 70's when I was. They were using it for outdoor concerts and festivals.
    We used to go to those border towns and the communist had bricked in the Windows of buildings facing us so the residents couldn't view freedom.
    All bridges were cut except a few, and mines laid in a no man's land.
    In the country there were machine gun bunkers buried in the hillsides.
    It was real!

    I worked with the Nike-Ajax, The Nike Hercules, the Little John and the honest John back in the early 60's. My last assignment was with a Honest John unit in the Northern part of Germany until mid-1963. When over there I had no idea we had units in Norway. The Redstone Rocket had a yield of 500 kilotons, 23 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki Japan.
