Remembering Audie...and his .50 M2

[Dewidmt]

65 years ago yesterday, 26 Jan 1945, Audie L. Murphy won this nation's highest award for valor by single-handedly holding off 250 German infantry and several tanks for over an hour while his men got to safety. Just remember, America used to produce men like this........YouTube - The Ballad of Audie Murphy - Most decorated WWII US soldier!

In my experience talking to many of our armed forces, America still produces men like this.

I don't know about most people, but my grandpa is still a lot tougher than i am! He'll probably be a lot tougher than me long after he's gone.

he truely was a great man, but i like to think america still produces many fine men still today. unfortunately there are more and more indecent, cowardly, and just all around pieces of crap running around these days as well, trying to take advantage of and prey on the good people. and they are the ones that make all of the news headlines.

I read his autobiography "To Hell and Back." He was quite a man, and to think he enlisted when he was still a kid.

Easy to see why they are referred to as "the greatest generation".
