Audie Murphy was a Medal of Honor recipient and America's 'most decorated combat soldier' of WWII.
Audie Murphy helped change our nation's attitude toward post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He was a true pioneer in raising awareness of an illness then only known as “battle fatigue” and because of him our nation finally began to recognize the need for early diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disease.
Audie Murphy remains a role model for America's military personnel; past and present.
Audie Murphy is an iconic legend...a shining beacon of patriotism and an inspiration to millions.
A separate petition has been hand-signed by ¾ of the living Medal of Honor recipients, more than 100 four-star general officers and four of the six former living Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs.
