Audie Leon Murphy, US Army. Most decorated US soldier in WW2. He was turned away from every other branch for being too short.

When he came back, he became a Hollywood star for a while, even starring in a biopic about his life called “To Hell & Back”. I was married in the home he shared with his sisters at the end of his life.

The salad bar on his chest there? He won them all during the war, serving in Europe.

Audie Leon Murphy (20 June 1925 – 28 May 1971) was an American soldier, actor, songwriter, and rancher. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor that he demonstrated at the age of 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, then leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition.

[...]

After the war, Murphy embarked on a 21-year acting career. He played himself in the 1955 autobiographical film To Hell and Back, based on his 1949 memoirs of the same name, but most of his roles were in westerns. He made guest appearances on celebrity television shows and starred in the series Whispering Smith. Murphy was a fairly accomplished songwriter. He bred quarter horses in California and Arizona, and became a regular participant in horse racing.

Suffering from what would today be described as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Murphy slept with a loaded handgun under his pillow. He looked for solace in addictive sleeping pills. In his last few years, he was plagued by money problems but refused offers to appear in alcohol and cigarette commercials because he did not want to set a bad example. Murphy died in a plane crash in Virginia in 1971, which was shortly before his 46th birthday. He was interred with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, where his grave is one of the most visited.

Audie Murphy: honor returns to community

Audie Murphy: honor returns to community

We toss the word “hero” around too generously at times. However, I want to take a brief look at the real thing, an actual hero who happens to belong to a community near where my wife and I have lived for the past three years. Farmersville — in eastern Collin County — claims Audie Leon Murphy as one of its famed sons. Why not? When he enlisted in the Army during the height of World War II,…

One American Hero.

On this day in 1971, the most decorated combat hero of World War II is tragically killed. Audie Leon Murphy wasn’t supposed to be a hero! In fact, when he first tried to join the military, the Marines rejected him because of his small size. The paratroopers rejected him, too. Disappointed, he joined the infantry. The young Texan wasn’t one to be kept down! He soon proved himself to be a skilled…

🇺🇸With this being Memorial Day weekend, I thought it was time for my yearly Audie Murphy post. Born in Kingston Texas on June 20, 1925 Audie Leon Murphy grew up hard. He was the 7th of 12 children in a very poor family. After his father walked out on the family and his mother’s death in 1941, he enlisted the help of his older sister to forge the necessary documents for him to join the U.S. Army. (He was actually too young, but extremely determined.) During his service in the European theater, he became the most decorated soldier of WWII. His list of awards included 3 Purple Hearts and the Medal of Honor. After the war, he returned to the United States and began and acting career, even playing himself in “To Hell and Back” in 1955. This was based in his autobiography of the same name published in 1949. On May 28, 1971, Audie Murphy, the other four passengers and the pilot were all killed when the private plane they were aboard, crashed into Brushy Mountain in Roanoke Virginia. He was 45 years old. The wreckage of the plane was recovered on May 31 (Memorial Day 1971). He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington Virginia on June 6, 1971 with full military honors. His grave is considered the second most visited in the cemetery after that of President John F. Kennedy. I hope everyone out there has a safe and pleasant Memorial Day weekend. I also hope that as you are flipping burgers and eating ice cream, you take just a moment and think of the many men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to help protect us. Wether they be a member of our armed forces or one of our many wonderful first responders, they have all made a great difference in our lives. We must never forget! Thank you so much! 🇺🇸

New Post has been published on https://www.classicfilmfreak.com/2019/09/12/cattle-drive-1951-starring-joel-mccrea-dean-stockwell-and-chill-wills/

Cattle Drive (1951) starring Joel McCrea, Dean Stockwell and Chill Wills

A spoiled brat of a kid learns about responsibility and teamwork when he’s isolated from his rich father and rescued by a compassionate cowboy on a cattle drive.

It may not be on anyone’s list of the great, even familiar Westerns, but Cattle Drive offers a quieter, warmer view of the great outdoors.  The best of it, despite predictable clichés, is the charisma between its two stars, a stalwart among Westerns and almost always cast as a nice guy, reflecting his nice-guy affability in real life, Joel McCrea, and young child star Dean Stockwell.

One of the few child stars to maintain a career into adulthood, this would be Stockwell’s last appearance as his earlier self.  Following a five-year hiatus in television, he would return to the big screen as one of two brothers in another Western, Gun for a Coward (1956), though he is trampled to death in a cattle stampede.

A land-based version of Captains Courageous (1937) with Spencer Tracy, the most original part of Cattle Drivewould seem to be Maury Gertsman’s cinematography when McCrea chases a wild black stallion, a somewhat idée fixe of the film.  Not so.  The cinematographer for the scene was actually Irving Glassberg, also, like Gertsman, a European, and the sequence was lifted from another Western, The Red Canyon (1949).  McCrea’s apparel was adjusted to match Howard Duff’s.

As for technical errors, the photo McCrea’s character shows one of the cowpokes of “his girl back in Santa Fe,” actually of McCrea’s wife actress Frances Dee, is in a deep, rich color that would have been impossible in the 1870s, even with the hand-tinted daguerreotypes.

Never fire a gun when herding cattle was an unwritten law of the West.  At one point when a cowpoke shoots at the stallion, the cattle logically stampede, yet in an earlier scene, a gun is fired to start a horse race between McCrea and Henry Brandon and the cattle don’t stampede!

A young boy, Chester (Stockwell), attempts to gain the attention of a negligent father (Leon Ames) by roughhousing with some boys aboard a train headed for Santa Fe.  The father owns the railroad.  While the train stops for water, Chester wanders into the desert.  In trying to return when he realizes the train is leaving, he falls into a ravine in the path of wrangler Dan Matthews (McCrea in Tracy’s role as Manuel), who has long been in pursuit of a wild black stallion.

Having lost the chance to rope a much sought-after animal, Dan now seems compelled to rescue the little brat, who attempts to browbeat him into taking him to Santa Fe.  Dan threatens to leave the boy but Chesterfinally agrees to accompany him to the camp of the cattle drive.

There, the trail boss, Cap (Howard Petrie, the equivalent of the fishing schooner’s captain, Lionel Barrymore) warns the boy that if he doesn’t pitch in and work with the cowboys, he doesn’t eat.  After starving for a day, he accepts food from Dan, who relates that he, too, was a troublemaker in his youth.  And the boy makes friends with the cook, Dallas (Chill Wills, in the Mickey Rooney role).

Dan teachers Chester cattle-driving skills, at which he becomes proficient.  Without complaining, the boy suffers the wind and heat during a trek to an elusive watering hole, earning the esteem of the men.  He does his share of the work, comes to relish being a cowboy and is actually dreading returning to his father.

At first resented by Currie (Brandon, best remembered as Scar in The Searchers, 1956) who sees the boy as a bad omen for the cattle drive, Currie and the other men later realize that the boy’s safety is all that matters during a frightening stampede.

After a few other adventures and misadventures, by the time the cattle drive arrives in Santa Fe, Dan has become more of a dad to Chester than his real one.  Graham vows to be a better father and allows Chester to accompany Dan in his continued search for the black stallion.

Joel McCrea was one of the most popular and enduring of the actors who rode the range, strolled the streets or carried a gun in the history of American Western cinema—he made some thirty-five movies in the genre.  He was perhaps less rugged than Glenn Ford, more friendly and emotional than Randolph Scott, less versatile than James Stewart, more engaging than Audie Murphy, devoid of any of the cynicism of Clint Eastwood and the antithesis of John Wayne in all respects.

Among the many other Western actors, stars as well as the countless supporting ones—Harry Carey, Jr., Ward Bond, John McIntire, Ben Johnson, Walter Brennan, Strother Martin, etc.—McCrea holds his own against the best of them.

McCrea’s first Western was Scarlet River way back in 1933, and then he starred with Barbara Stanwyck in Cecil B. DeMille’s epic Union Pacific in Hollywood’s banner year of 1939.

Stanwyck would be McCrea’s costar in another Western, Trooper Hook (1957), in which the actor, now a cavalry sergeant, returns a rescued wife and her young squaw son to her husband.  Unimaginable for some Western stars, most of all Eastwood, to even associate with children much less have a kinship with them, McCrea starred in a number of films with them—he had three children of his own.

In Saddle Tramp, one of four films McCrea made in 1950, he is saddled—no pun intended—with four kids orphaned when their father is killed, and at the ranch where he finds work, he must hide them because the owner doesn’t like children.

In McCrea’s final movie and coincidentally a Western, Mustang Country (1976), he is once again joined by a young boy, here a Native American (Nika Mina, in his only film) to capture the last wild mustang in Montana, another elusive horse.  (There was another wild black stallion in Black Horse Canyon, 1954.)

Joel McCrea came out of a four-year retirement to make Mustang Country.  Unfortunate.  It is a weak film, afflicted with little drama and clips from other films.  For an actor who had made far, far better—Union Pacific, Foreign Correspondent (1940), Sullivan’s Travels (1941), The More the Merrier (1943) and Ride the High Country (1962)—it is a poor valediction to a career and to a man who was so well liked, on and off screen.

The final resting place of Audie Leon Murphy, Medal of Honor Recipient, and Hollywood Movie Star. One of the most decorated soldiers of World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy Discovered at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia. See more at Trover

[quakerjoe]

For the 72nd anniversary of the Normandy invasion, we'd like to reintroduce you to one Audie Leon Murphy, American Bad Ass. Murphy was born into a dirt poor sharecropping family in 1924. Or '23. Murphy himself gave both dates throughout his life. The seventh of twelve children, he dropped out of school in the fifth grade to help support his family picking cotton for a dollar a day. His father eventually abandoned the family, while his mother died while Audie was still a teenager. Lying about his age to enlist (helped by a falsified affidavit provided by an older sister), Murphy served in the Mediterranean and France during WW2. So what? So did hundreds of thousands of others right? What makes him so bad ass? Murphy fought in nine campaigns across Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. When we say fought, we mean FOUGHT. Murphy earned every medal for valor awarded by the U.S. Army BEFORE the age of 20. By the time the war was over, the slight Texas sharecropper earned over thirty medals, including: The Distinguished Service Cross, France's Legion of Honor, Belgium's Croix de Guerre, Two Silver Stars, Two Bronze Stars, Three Purple Hearts, Three French Croix de Guerre, And the Medal of Honor, for single handedly holding off a company of German soldiers with a machine gun for over an hour - while standing atop a burning tank destroyer. He might have been there all day if he hadn't finally run out of ammunition. When asked why he did what he did at the Medal of Honor ceremony, Murphy gave the most Greatest Generation answer one could possibly give : "They were killing my friends." Enlisting as a private, Murphy eventually retired with the rank of major from the Texas National Guard. His post war career saw success as an actor in movies (over 40 film credits, including starring as himself in " To Hell and Back", based on his autobiography) and television, a best selling autobiography, and as a songwriter. Less well known was his advocacy on behalf of Korean and Vietnan war veterans with PTSD, or "battle fatigue" as it was known then. He lobbied Congress to enhance and extend health benefits for veterans. Murphy suffered from PTSD himself, causing him to become addicted to sleeping pills, and sleep with a loaded handgun under his pillow. And despite financial troubles later on in his career, he refused potentially lucrative endorsement deals from tobacco and alcohol companies because of the impact it would have on both veterans and young people. Murphy was laid to rest with full military honors on June 7th 1971 in Arlington National Cemetery after dying in a plane crash. His is the second most visited site in Arlington, after President John F. Kennedy's. A fitting tribute to an American Bad Ass.

Fate/Servant Sheet: Archer/Audie Murphy

Name: Audie Leon Murphy Title: History’s Greatest Soldier Class: Archer Other qualifying classes: Berserker, Assassin Country of Origin: America Gender: Male Alignment: Lawful Good Relic: His Medal of Honor Likes: Protecting the innocent, fighting for his country, friendship, movies, poetry Dislikes: War, glorifying war, hurting his friends, flying Parameters: Strength: B+ Endurance: A+ Agility: C+ Mana: D Luck: C

Class Skills: Independent Action: The ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from the Master. C: It is possible to stay in the world for one day without a Master.

Personal Skills: Projectiles (Firearms): The ability to enhance the effectiveness of firearms. A: Rifle rounds now strike with the force of a bunker buster.

Mental Disorder: The quality of having a mental disorder. B: Severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Outbursts of anger and violence. Addiction to gambling.

Weak Constitution: A weakness struck by the nature of frail health. E: Archer regularly displays symptoms of malaria, but it doesn’t affect him in combat at all.

Battle Continuation: The strength of vitality for predicaments. C: Minor injuries are nothing to the Servant; major injuries, however, only have their effects decreased slightly. Archer survived numerous wounds during World War II, yet he still fought excellently.

Ultimate Soldier: A skill unique to those in the military who have become legendary for their service to their country. A+: Archer is regarded as America’s greatest soldier, and is the most decorated soldier in history. Grants the effects of: Eternal Arms Mastership B Rank-up to Strength, Endurance and Agility Eye of the Mind (False) B Disengage C Marksmanship A++

Noble Phantasms: Rusty Old Gun: The Arsenal of a True Soldier Rank: Anti-Unit A++ The crystallization of Archer’s legacy as the most decorated soldier in history, this Noble Phantasm take the form of his M1 Carbine, a semi-automatic rifle made famous for its use in World War II. It possesses many of the same capabilities that a normal rifle would, aside from having unlimited ammo. The rifle’s true power lies in its ability to transform into any firearm from any point in history. This ranges from modern firearms like the AK-47 to ancient weapons like flintlock muskets. This Noble Phantasm does not grant the knowledge to use these weapons, though; Archer must use his Eternal Arms Mastership skill to effectively use this Phantasm.

To Hell and Back: The Mark of a True Soldier Rank: Support B Archer’s numerous medals, which earned him his legacy as history’s most decorated soldier. With this Noble Phantasm, Archer can use each medal as a reservoir of mana, or activate them all in order to boost his combat capabilities exponentially. The more “heroic” or “brave” the event is remembered, the more mana it grants. However, each episode medal contains a limited amount of mana; once it runs out, it cannot be replenished. Additionally, Archer dislikes the use of this Noble Phantasm, as it reminds him of all of the lives that he ended during his service in the military and the fact that he was made a “hero” because of it.

Personality: A kind-hearted, friendly soul who has been broken by war, Archer is a pacifist, only really agreeing to fight if he sees civilians or his friends being put in danger. He absolutely hates the fact that the modern world has become desensitized to war and has actually started to glorify it. His wish for the Grail is to endure that no wars will happen aver again. In his bouts of PTSD, he becomes either increasingly violent or increasingly reclusive.

Other notes:

-When Archer activates To Hell and Back, he experiences a “playback” of the moment that lead to him earning that medal. Depending on the severity of the event, activating To Hell and Back may trigger his PTSD; another reason why Archer dislikes using it.

-The title of his first and second Noble Phantasms are a quote from his poem “Freedom Flies In Your Heart Like An Eagle” (also known as “Dusty Old Helmet”) and the title of his memoirs, respectively.

-I may or may not have been inspired by Captain America while designing this Servant (seriously, Audie Murphy is pretty much a real-life Steve Rogers).

That death does wait 

There's no debate 

He charged and attacked! 

He went to hell and back!

Decided I might as well post some of these sheets from my Deviant Art account here.
