Audie Murphy was a hell of a man. Never forget 75 years ago.

One of my Heroes and he made great westerns too.

Heck yeah, watch em’ all the time on GRIT, they play his movies a lot. Gunsmoke is my favorite western but his autobiography where he played himself was amazing, kinda reminded me of Sgt. York from WWI in a way.

A couple Murphy movies on Starz channel this afternoon

One of the best examples of the greatest generation!

IRL he hopped onto a burning M10 tank destroyer but that's just nit-picking.

Not the size of the man in the fight. It is the size of the fight in the man.

I get ScreenPix Westerns & Starz Encore Westerns and both show plenty of his western movies.

Six Black Horses is pretty good and just watched some of it again.

Wait what? I didn't know he died at 47? I'm soon to be 47.
