We celebrated the anniversary of D-Day a few weeks back (my son's a WW II buff) at our house and while you may be familiar with that historic event, if you don't know the story of Audie Murphy, another compelling part of the history of World War II, you should.
It's art imitating life, and life imitating art. It is inspiring and intriguing and so totally worth knowing about.
There are not many American heroes of his calibre, one's we can teach our children about.

Happy Birthday and thank you to Medal of Honor recipient and Great American Audie Murphy who, if he were alive, would be 87 years old today.
