Audie Murphy was the most decorated soldier during World War II. He was a Texas boy and raised in poverty. He had difficulty getting accepted into the Military because of his young age and small stature. His older sister gave permission for him to enlist. He was accepted into the army at age 17 after being turned down by the other branches. He was a crack shot, due to his hunting game to feed his family. He received the Congressional Medal of Honor just before his 19th birthday, due to his actions on the battlefield. There is a museum with pictures and all his medals at Greenville TX. It is truly inspiring. He was in his 40's, when he died in a plane crash. He suffered from PTSD all his life from the horrors he saw during the war and slept with a gun under his pillow. My only complaint was the video was a little too short. The biography was inspiring and well worth the money. I would highly recommend this important piece of history.

Not bad, but I've seen a lot of better Audie Murphy stories. This one is shorter than I thought it would be, and it didn't focus enough on what I think are the most interesting aspects of his life (childhood, friendships during WW2, exploits during WW2, and interesting facts about his interactions with some of the people he regularly worked with on set.)

What a brave guy!!!!!! He deserved every medal he earned.
How ironic he made five beach landings in WWII & fought his way inland, being wounded one time, only to get killed in a civilian plane when all the wars were over. What a tragic waste!!!!!

This was just as I expected. I purchased this for my grandchildren after we had visited Mr. Murphy's gravesite at Arlington. I wanted them to know the MAN. It met all my expectations. I had seen it but I wanted it as a part of my inventory for my grandchildren to have as a part of American History.
