Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1926 (?) – May 28, 1971)[2] was a highly distinguished American soldier of World War II and a celebrated movie star for many years in the post-war era, appearing in thirty-nine films. He also found some success as a country music composer.
Audie Murphy became the most highly decorated United States soldier of the war during his twenty-seven months of combat action in the European Theater. [2][3]
He received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military's highest award for valor, along with 32 additional U.S. and foreign medals and citations,[2][3][4] including five from France and one from Belgium.[1][2][5]
Murphy's successful movie career included the extremely popular To Hell and Back (1955), which was based on his book of the same name (1949).[3] He also starred in an impressive 39 Hollywood films.[3] He died in a plane crash in 1971 and was interred, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery.[3] Audie Murphy's grave site is the second-most visited grave at Arlington, after that of President John F. Kennedy.
