Oh, and your last statement, "In my opinion, the greatest American soldier." brought tears to my eyes. So thankful that some of the younger generation still admire him and know how much he gave for our country.
Thank you so much for watching! Audie had been my hero since childhood so we did our best to tell his full story. Check out some of our other episodes if you get a chance!
I watched all 3 of the videos that you have done on Audie Murphy. I was riveted to the information that you had. My father was the one who told me about Audie Murphy when I was a little girl but this is the first time I have his whole life story and how he came to be the man he was. I will be 70 soon and my family has many who have served proudly in many of the wars since WWI. 2 of my uncles were prisoners of war in Northern Italy during WWII, we have just started hearing their stories in the last few years. Also learned about my grandfathers military career during WWI in more detail, he was a 2nd Lieutenant in France who was field promoted in one day during an assault of hill named Chateau Thierry, the Captain was killed during the first try, so 1st Lt. got promoted to Captain, my GF got promoted to 1st Lt. The 2nd try that day resulted in the new Capt. being killed so my GF was promoted to Capt., on the 3rd try they captured the hill. My GF lived. And the story continued . . . .
Thank you so much for checking out our show. Audie is an interesting character in that many know his name and that he earned the MOH, but few know all the extraordinary things he did. It’s sounds like you have a very rich military heritage in your family. You should be very proud. It is sad that we lose so many of our nations heroes and their stories pass into obscurity. It is good that people like you keep their stories alive by remembering. Thanks for listening.
wow you doing a great job just like the other guy said I was riveted right to the chair listening to you you're doing a great job I already love the man I love this movie when I was a kid I'm 81 years old now I didn't know he was a hero then when I was seeing his movies but now boy now you giving me all this other information that I never knew about him thank you
I love the movie! I just don’t think it holds up well or tells an accurate picture of Audie’s story. If someone had never heard of him and saw the movie I don’t think they’d come away with a proper appreciation of what he did.
@@speakingofcouragepodcast8437 It also does not help that most of what Audie did during his service wasn't portrayed in the film. As the producers and screen writers thought no one would believe it was real.
you have a point, I had relatives who survived Normandy but I never thought to ask them about Audie. They passed years ago. We are Texans, some people hate us. Lol
Great job. From a fellow dogface of Co. C 1/15th 3rd ID. Jan'67- Jul'68. (In Kitzingen Germany) .Who also happens to have his namesake (Murphy) with pride. They never come any greater, than Audie L. Murphy.
@@speakingofcouragepodcast8437 I understand...the media does that a lot...and many never notice...they just use a file image. Once I saw an image of a ship stuck in the ice in the artic...it was supposed to be a ship from an English speaking country, but the name of the ship was in Cyrillic script, obviously it was a Russian ship...they used what they had and it was not intended to deceive...however, they do their fair share of intentional deception, but in this ship case it was not...
It's too bad no one told Audie Murphy about the peace with God. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By believing the gospel with your heart 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, buried and rose the third day according to the scriptures. ( make this heart belief personal )
Hello, thank you for commenting, but I must ask- what are you basing this assertion on? Do you have any information regarding Audie’s religion or lack thereof? Or are you making an assumption? Audie grew up in rural Texas during the 1920s and 1930s and served in a predominantly Christian Army. I find it highly doubtful that “ no one told Audie Murphy about the peace with God.” In his postwar poem “Alone and Far Removed” he ended with the line “But to God alone we kneel” which is very telling. If you have more info on Audie I would love to hear it but I think it is somewhat disrespectful and presumptive to assume someone’s religious status without evidence or their input.
@@speakingofcouragepodcast8437 From what I understand Audie had a problem with peace because of the war? I believe God would have given him peace with salvation. He would have still had the memory but he would not have to sleep with a gun because of the peace that comes with salvation. I also believe all will be saved go to video: 4 3 2022 the Mars Hill Experience and all so the 4 10 2022 video.
Audie, as well as countless other veterans had substantial trauma from the war, even though The majority of American WW2 veterans were Christian and “knew God” they still struggled. I’m sure their faith brought them a great deal of comfort but it would never erase the scars of what they experienced. Many combat vets went on to become members of clergy or otherwise lived lives devoted to Christ but they still suffered. It is a terrible implication that someone who is struggling doesn’t know God or have salvation because they are not at peace. Not only does this question peoples faith without warrant, it also further stigmatizes veterans and others suffering from PTS. I try to be as courteous and diplomatic as possible on this show and in the comments, but I feel this is disrespectful.
That’s nice. Only God and Audie would know if he believed the gospel in his heart. Certainly not you Regardless, you’re original comment said “It's too bad no one told Audie Murphy about the peace with God” which is a ridiculous statement.
When I was very little in the early 70's I first heard of Audie Murphy through movies like Destry (www.dailymotion.com/video/x2c5xrf) or No Name on a Bullet (www.dailymotion.com/video/x2c7sjo) and I absolutely loved him, he was so cute, but then I finally saw the movie To Hell & Back. I finally enlisted in the military and after my initial enlisted service, I went to college and returned to the regular army as a commissioned officer. I always loved Audie Murphy and to this day. If they do rename military bases their must be one renamed for him. Audie Murphy is the greatest soldier and one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. But what is also so important is what he did for veterans suffering with PTSD. I work as a contractor with the VA now and work with lots of homeless vets who suffer with PTSD. Audie Murphy was a great man.
Watching his movies it’s hard to believe what an incredible warrior he was. It’s great to know he inspired so many. If they do rename bases I think it would be an excellent idea to name one after him. Thank you for your service and thanks for checking out our show!

This just may be the greatest story ever told!
Audie was an awesome man. Definitely a great underdog story of a man with courage and a refusal to quit.
Thanks for checking us out.
What an amazing story, thanks for telling it with such detailed and honoring an amazing hero!
Thanks for all the support.
Thanks for voicing so much history of this remarkable man. That he was able to smile at all after so much trauma speaks volumes.

@@jarrettodom3943 I would love if a new movie about audie murphy was made. Just like Hacksaw Ridge, which was about Desmond Doss.
I wonder if the enemy had heard of Audie? Had any idea that he might show up in their neighborhood. Lol
I doubt they heard of him before, but they definitely remembered him after he left!
you have a point, I had relatives who survived Normandy but I never thought to ask them about Audie. They passed years ago. We are Texans, some people hate us. Lol

I like it!

AUDIE IS THE GOAT???????????
I would say so
That German helmet at 4:25 looks like a WWI 1916 Stahlhelm helmet...It's not WWII era helmet...perhaps they did that in WWI also...
You are correct. It’s difficult to find pictures so it was used as a representative image.
