Profile of the farm boy, Audie Murphy, who won fame for his incredible
bravery in World War II and becoming the
most decorated
American combat solder.
He killed 240 enemy
soldiers, was wounded three times, and earned an astonishing 33 awards and
medals, including the Medal of Honor. Even France and Belgium
presented him with 5 decorations . . . And he was only 21 years old at the
end of the war!
