Audie Murphy Discusses WW2

[Larce89]

I believe it's a 30 cal Browning.

[cobrachoppergirl]

Check out that guy at 1:34 carrying around a 50 caliber with a two point strap. Holy bejesus. Is that a 50, or some other 30 caliber machine gun I don't know of.

[lanceyourlot]

Thank you for posting this.

[Davehvl]

May I ask...why would you use the name "Audiesdaddy"?

[Audiesdaddy]

@Davehvl Have a son named Audie Murphy Phillips, in honor of Audie.

[Davehvl]

@Audiesdaddy  Awesome!! A name to be proud of

[vinegaroon1]

would have liked to hear it, but that ridiculous background music spoils it.

[movement26]

His modesty is most touching, and his skill and bravery as a soldier were without equal......I noticed he said his most memorable day, was the day they announced the war was over....Even though he found fame and fortune in Hollywood. and came to an untimely end.......He will always be remembered as Audie Murphy, a great soldier, a great American, a great man.

[XxxxExclusivexxxX]

In stead of wearing a Tony Romo jersey, wear a hat that says Audie Murphy

[Audiesdaddy]

@XxxxExclusivexxxX !!!!!

[Audiesdaddy]

@XxxxExclusivexxxX Ain't that the truth! Great American he was!

[bangthatdrumb]

who wrote his book? it was amazing, no way he wrote that

[Audiesdaddy]

@bangthatdrumb It was written by his close friend Spec McClure over an extended period of time, with Murphy having to be prodded for details.

[bangthatdrumb]

@Audiesdaddy he was 1 hell of a good writer

[Audiesdaddy]

@bangthatdrumb Yes he was

[rm2ken]

I had a dream of him last night. He didn't have an easy life after the war. I felt sad after I woke up.

[MajorAudieMurphy]

Thank you for posting this memorable interview.

[Audiesdaddy]

@MajorAudieMurphy Your welcome!

[Toracube]

Great Vid.

[mvies77]

Great interview. A little window into his mind, but he said so much. Wish the music was a little lower in volume. He was very clear in his belief for military readiness. He was there and he met the enemy first hand. Evil is the same in every generation.

[Audiesdaddy]

@benbest123 Thanks for the service of your uncle!

[Audiesdaddy]

@coolnamesweretaken1 Their stories should be told to all school children!

[Audiesdaddy]

@Bumper511 He is a great role model even today!

[Audiesdaddy]

@direct2088 Done!

[Audiesdaddy]

@FaganRoberts It had nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, rather he suffered from PTSD his entire adukt life!

[SaphirBlackMoon]

This then is Audie Murphy. He stood when other men ran away. He stood in the heart of the storm.

[Audiesdaddy]

@SaphirBlackMoon And he never back away from a fight!

[auburn5978]

Audie Murphy, a great American patriot !!!

[Audiesdaddy]

@auburn5978 And Patriot he shall remain......forever!

[MAKER6450]

I always think of platoon when Bunny says to Junior ..."dont worry (cocks shotgun) your hanging with Audie Murphy my man".

[Audiesdaddy]

@MAKER6450 Great line!

[mgwilliams1000]

I'm a 30 year vet. I only say that because I learned long ago there are NO heroes. Men (and women and every other sort of Human) perform at their best when everything around them is crap. This man was nothing in size (look at the oversize helmet on his head in photos), yet he was LARGER in life when it counted. And as most great people I had the honor to serve with.... he was humble about it.

[Audiesdaddy]

@mgwilliams1000 Great comment! Thank you!

[addiefleur]

ALM may have been very pro 2nd amendment, but that had nothing to do with why he always kept a gun with him, don't confuse the issues. I think he had no choice, just like many Vets with Shell Shock, he had to have a gun, even as he slept.

[Audiesdaddy]

@addiefleur He was PTSD until the very end!

[addiefleur]

@Audiesdaddy Of course. I am not sure what I said that sounded like I thought he didn't, I think I said the opposite, kind of, No? The point i was making was the one you nade to faganroberts (above) about his PTSD (and sleeping with a gun) and his 2nd amendment beliefs not being related. You and I are on the same page.

[earwax12321]

Audie Murphy used a god mode code while in combat overseas. And infinite ammo. It's the only way to explain his badassness

[Audiesdaddy]

@earwax12321 :)

[slizerd1]

cant beat da fightin irish

[Audiesdaddy]

@slizerd1 :)

[N1k1mon]

I stayed in Murphy's house as a kid in '92 or so, learned Led Zeppelin on the guitar out in the Guest house out there...It was a real good time.

[Audiesdaddy]

@N1k1mon Too cool!

[tallpaul521]

Thanks for this great tribute to Mr. Murphy. I was in Dallas this past weekend when I heard of the Navy SEALS take out of OBL. I was in Dallas with my mother and relatives, all of whom knew Mr. Murphy growing up in Floyd, Farmersville and Greenville, TEXAS. They went to school with him, helped feed his family, and picked cotton along side him. We went to the Audie Murphy Museum in Greenville and paid our respects. God Bless him and all veterans - past and present.

[Audiesdaddy]

@tallpaul521 Cool recollection! Thanks!

[benbest123]

*salute*

[Audiesdaddy]

@benbest123 Salute returned!

[mgwilliams1000]

A True American Hero. 5 Foot nothing and weighed hardly anything, at first the Army wouldn't even accept him for service. I helped my late wife (a Trauma nurse at the local Naval Base) write an article for the base newspaper about medics who had won MOH's. I was truck by the modesty of almost every one of them. Even after Murphy made screen stardom he never really liked to talk about his exploits in combat.

[Audiesdaddy]

@mgwilliams1000 He was a very humble man indeed

[ninelivecat]

Was that Cologne Cathedral in the Background 1:42 ?

[Audiesdaddy]

@ninelivecat Yes, it was!

[spartansfan5]

@Bumper511 My son idolizes Audie Murphy, Gary Gordon, and Randall Shugartt real heroes not Justin

Bieber carp

[Audiesdaddy]

@spartansfan5 Great role models!

[Ripley44mag]

L'est we forget. RIP

[Audiesdaddy]

@Ripley44mag Never forget!

[ABZ6381]

@Bumper511 dude im 14 and i have admired audie murphy for a while now i have read his book to hell and back 3 times:) he was a great man.

[Audiesdaddy]

@ABZ6381 Thanks for reading his memoirs!

[5769JJ]

The tradgedy is that he suffered greatly from Post Traumatic Stress....but there was no help for it at the time, like there is now.

[Audiesdaddy]

@5769JJ Thanks to Murphy and his openess towards PTSD in the late 60's thee is hlp for returning veterans now. Bob Dole recently called him a pioneer in PTSD awareness!

[optimoe54]

WOW this man is a legend! r.i.p. brother

[Audiesdaddy]

@optimoe54 Amen!

[MikeR8898]

What a great man!! He embodies the best in all of us!

[Audiesdaddy]

@MikeR8898 And his legacy continues to this day!

[zikano79]

damn, the pictures show how the americans free cologne, germany. i live in cologne. thats really strange to see tanks in front of the cathedral and to see soldiers fighting. I actually recognized a couple of streets, even though it all looks so different now. Cologne was destroyed completely to the ground. There were hardly buildings left. But still i thank the states for freeing us from the Nazis.

[Audiesdaddy]

@zikano79 Thank you!

[MuchoFunkie]

@zikano79 The States? You should probably thank the whole world aswell, because without Soviet Russia, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and 55 other nations you would NOT have been "free"

[SuperSsssssmith]

The scene is Cologn and it is the fight between the Panther tank and the PERSHING M26 American tank. The german tank was wasted with the second round.

[Audiesdaddy]

@SuperSsssssmith It is a great scene!

[g00dmaydieyoung]

what a pro. 

[Audiesdaddy]

@g00dmaydieyoung He was the true professional!

[ctmale1956]

Thank you Mr. Murphy for giving so much to our country.....

[Audiesdaddy]

@ctmale1956 Thanks for the kind comment!

[ajb1776]

While we know it to be true that Audie Murphy warrants praise for his military service, I believe he also warrants our sincere thanks to the powers that be, and to forces of his upbringing, that he was raised to be a profoundly humble man and honest all around nice guy. He could have been a gruff bully with a bad attitude and still deserve praise for the truth of his military heroism, however, he serendipitously happened to be a genuinely nice guy. A rare person, those qualities and good looks.

[Audiesdaddy]

@ajb1776 Thanks for the excellent comment!

[MrRazerwire]

My brother was named Audie in honour if Audie Murphy when he was born in 1956,he,s now named his son Audie, a real hero and legend,

[Audiesdaddy]

@MrRazerwire My son also is named Audie and he shares the Murphy as his middle name!

His legacy continues!

[mightyfuckmaker]

cool post

[Audiesdaddy]

@mightyfuckmaker Thanks!

[Audiesdaddy]

@mightyfuckmaker Thank you!

[tallpaul521]

My mother grew up with Mr. Murphy in Farmersville, Texas. Thank you for this rare interview with Mr. Murphy.

[Audiesdaddy]

@tallpaul521 You're welcome!

[MattsMisc]

This is a true hero, not the bs you hear the media talking about now days. He killed 240 german soldiers and took out six tanks. beast mode.

[Audiesdaddy]

@MattsMisc A true one-of-kind hero!

[Toracube]

Gotta respect that guy !!!!

[Audiesdaddy]

@Toracube Thanks for the comment!

[bartmansd71]

@wordgrrl71 This is real footage from an incident in Cologne in 1945. A US Army T26E3 (later M26) Pershing tank hunts down a German PzKpfw V Panther which had just destroyed a M4 Sherman tank. You can see in the film that the Sherman tank commander "bails" out of the turret hatch and falls on the tank's rear deck. His foot was blown off and he later died due to loss of blood. The Pershing found and destroyed the Panther near the cathedral.

[Audiesdaddy]

@bartmansd71 WWII was a war fought man-to-man! Thaks for the comment!

[boatstaylor]

Thank you !!!!

[Audiesdaddy]

@boatstaylor You are welcome!

[VIKING33NY]

a true American Hero!! God Bless You Sir!

[Audiesdaddy]

@VIKING33NY Thanks!

[Kabul81]

Audie was definately one of a kind!

Jman

[Audiesdaddy]

@Kabul81 And a patriot toall!

[corntrader19]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I read his book "To Hell and Back." He describes the way he felt when he heard the news the war in Europe was over. He asked himself "Am I branded for life?" Sadly, he learned he was scarred for life because of the nightmares he suffered once he got home. He was a great man.

[Audiesdaddy]

You are absolutely right, but in spite of that fact, he never whined or complained and always marched to the beat of the drum.

Patriot he is and Patriot he shall remain!

[FlattusMaximusD]

@corntrader19 im half way through to hell an back..ijust finished eugene sledges book,with the old breed.,both are amazing.i mean...i cant understand how they were able to live a life after what they saw an did.

[RyanB2112]

@FlattusMaximusD

Take it one day at a time and try not to think about it. Notice when Audie was talking about his most memorable moment he said he was trying to forget it all.

[Audiesdaddy]

@FlattusMaximusD Sledge's book was great and Murphy's THB was one of the great WWII calssics!

[Audiesdaddy]

@FlattusMaximusD Great read!

[Audiesdaddy]

Audie was the greatest and his name will always symbolize freedom, to those of course that remember it.

Thanks for your comment!

[Audiesdaddy]

Thanks he was one hell of a great American and deserves to be recongnized with the Presidential Medal of freedom!
