Presidential Medal of Freedom for Audie Leon Murphy
Target:
The Honorable President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama
Sponsored by:
Mr. President:
Audie Leon Murphy is an American Legend, an iconic figure in American history, and a hero for all times. Audie Murphy came from humble roots and with little formal education to become our Nation's Most Decorated Soldier during World War Two, amassing 33 awards, decorations, and citations, many of which were awarded multiple times. He was further honored by the Governments of France and Belgium as well.
Audie Murphy enlisted in the Army at the age of 17 after having been turned down by the Navy, Marines, and Army Air Corps. He spent 30 months in combat in World War Two and earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for his single-handed defeat of over 250 enemy soldiers and six King Tiger tanks. For over one hour he remained alone atop a burning tank destroyer calling artillery adjustments and manning a .50 caliber machine gun. He was personally responsible for protecting his sector and certainly saving his unit from destruction.
During the course of the war Audie Murphy rose from the enlisted rank of Private to the rank of First Lieutenant. He continued his military career postwar as a member of the Texas National Guard and Army Reserve and retired with the rank of Major.
After the war, Audie Murphy became a best-selling author with his memoirs, "To Hell and Back," and became a motion picture actor.
He starred in or produced 44 feature films and was also a poet and a successful songwriter. He assisted the U.S. Army in the production of a documentary in the early 1960's titled "Broken Bridge" that highlighted the dangers of the nuclear age and the Soviet missile threat.
Above all Audie Murphy was the perfect example of an American patriot. He narrated several Public Service Announcements for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, as well as having been one the first to speak openly about the effects of post-traumatic-stress-disorder (PTSD) with which he suffered his entire adult life.
Audie Murphy has previously been awarded many honors. He has been cited in the "Congressional Record" on numerous occasions. He has had schools named after him, monuments, roads, a VA Hospital, numerous buildings on military bases, and the Army today has the "Sergeant Audie Murphy Club" to honor its distinguished soldiers. Audie Murphy has further received a "Star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was awarded the U.S. Army Outstanding Civilian Service Medal. In addition he has been honored by Postage Stamps by the Governments of Guyana, Nevis, and Sierra Leone. Finally in 2000 he was honored with a commemorative .33 postage stamp as part of the Distinguished Soldiers Series. Perhaps his greatest honor is having been laid to rest after his untimely death in a plane crash at age 46 at Arlington National Cemetary. His wife Pamela and sons Terry and James Shannon survive him, as does his sister Nadine.
His amazing achievements in life, his patriotism and his dedication to the protection of America and America's freedom exemplify the finest qualities and virtues of American citizenship and are worthy of the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the Presidential Medal of Freedom be posthumously bestowed upon Audie Leon Murphy.

If there were more Men Like Audie today the worlds would be better. If we brought his service record out to the publics eye maybe we could bring it to the attention of our children more of what Honour , selfless service means. In a sense if we brought his deeds to the attention of the public we could show our children more of what it means to be a man.

I was a teenager when I first learned about Audie Murphy's heroism in World War II. I have always been amazed by the things he was able to accomplish at such a young age, and he is one of the reasons I joined the U.S. Air Force - to do my part to serve my country and follow in the footsteps of great patriots like Audie Murphy. He deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom!

I'm old enough to remember Audie Murphy as a soldier in WW2. I was just a boy of 12 when the war ended, but his exploits became etched upon my memory. To this day I am saddened that our government has ignored this great American hero and paid homage to much lesser men.I must wonder why he has not been honored with a postage stamp, or a memorial in Washington DC. I am a published writer of essays in verse, and in my last book I included a work entitled "A FORGOTTEN HERO REMEMBERED!". dedicated to Audie Murphy!
