We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Nadine Murphy, Audie Murphy's Sister. Nadine tells us about their childhood and Audie's drive to care of his family no matter the cost. It was an honor and a privilege.
Whenever I'd see him in an interview or an appearance he was a polite, soft spoken gentleman . His commander called him the toughest man in the division. A fine example of manhood .God's blessing !
I think that description is Entirely Accurate. Whenever Men such as Audie Murphy are needed, they always seem to Answer America's Call To Arms. May It Always Be So
Even coming from heartbreaking poverty she is gracious and kind. Audie Murphy was more than a war hero, he was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. I wish I had met him.
@@emmeblu5512 yeah as we were filming I looked over at my other camera operator and then panned the room we were all trying to hold back the water works. She's one special lady.
He is America’s greatest hero n will never be forgotten. His grave at Arlington is the second most visited. President Kennedy is first. Another great American hero. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The truth of the matter is there was many young men like Audie, who fought with great courage but never made it home. Men who died before they even had a chance to fight back. The stories of heroism are countless. They all make us proud to be Americans.
I would love to be able to reach out and give her a hug. They were quite a family. Her two other brothers were brave men too! But Audie is my hero and always be.
Who could the25 idiots be ,that gave this video a thumbs down ??What she didn’t mention was Audie would chop wood , pickup soda bottles , do anything to get ammunition for his .22 rifle so he could shoot something for the family to eat , he knew a missed shot was a missed meal. He could not stand the look on his siblings face when he came with nothing. He learned to NEVER miss.
Back in 2013 I went to Arlington National Cemetery to put a poinsettia and wreath on Audie Murphy's gravesite. I live in Annapolis, MD and the trip isn't far to the cemetery. I searched out Nadine online and called her on the phone to introduce myself and tell her what I had done for her brother. Audie is my favorite hero of WWII and I wanted to honor him for that particular Christmas season. I visited with Nadine for quite a while on the phone and enjoyed spending time with her. I am so happy to see that she is still alive and to hear her voice once more. Thank you for this video so much.
God does move in mysterious ways, how many people to day could live through this, and come out the other side with such grace, Its sad that this video doesnt have anymore views that this, people have so much today they take it for granted.
I have like many Americans have been a big big fan of John Wayne not just as a actor ,but his iconic values that showed us what Americans are made of to the world . Humble , proud, honest, God fearing , all these are summed up in one name Audie L. Murphy I just know Duke ,all 6' 4" would humbly bow to this 5'4" Gaint. Thanks to all our vetren heroes. God bless U.S.A.!!!
A true American hero!! God blessed and guided him, he took on a lot at a young age. People get the spirit of God and they don't question their orders, they just do. 🙏❤🇺🇸👏
A youngster he's been my hero then he's still my hero now God bless you Audie Leon Murphy and God bless the Murphy families, and all the families who fought and died God bless all of the American soilders they are truly heroes thank you God bless
Audie Leon Murphy live his life as he was raised, humbly, a wonderful human being all his life and a true American hero of WWII... When Audie made a promise, he kept it... I still remember his warm infectious smile and blue eyes when Audie smiled... In Audie's short lived life he managed to touch many lives in his life time, I am one of those lucky one. REST IN ETERNAL PEACE. AUDIE.... I STILL REMEMBER. MISS AND LOVE YOU STILL AND ALWAYS.
My dad's favorite movie star. Top 5 favorite Audie movie. To Hell and back, The kid from Texas, Tumbieweed, 40 guns to Apache Pass and Ride clear of Diablo.
That was very moving! To think of all he went through as a very young lad doing what he could in such deep poverty to care for his family. His actions from then throughout his life showed what really was inside of this man and that his courage to do what needed to be done was unmatched you could say. It sure seems as though the Good Lord put Audie where he was needed! How could you not respect and love such an honorable and humble man like Audie Murphy! Never forgotten! Hand salute from an old U.S. Marine!
He was a hero to his family first - and America second. He was a real man, back in the days when men knew what honor and duty really meant. Don't get me wrong. I believe our soldiers are tough as nails, and I won't hear anyone telling me different! But Audie Murphy and soldiers of his generation were tougher. They did not have these modern tools our men rely on every day. Everything soldiers did back then was 100% flesh and blood solid resolve, And yet, I'm 100% sure if they had been offered the technology back then, they'd of loved it.
@Clark WILLIAMS Very well SPOKEN!! Certainly applies TODAY!! KAG PATRIOTS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸GOD BLESS THE USA! Our forefathers didn't give up nor will we. TRUMP Nov.3rd .Audie L. Murphy True meaning of MAN.
Love these little stories about Audie Murphy! A True American Hero. Fortunate to have lived in the same time. Lost him too young! There will never be his like, the mold was Brown
i still have a crush on him. his movies come on and i want my kids to know about him, i have seen them multiple times and cant stop watching them again.
My feelings exactly. I've loved Audie Murphy since I was 10 years old and now tell my children about him. We should never forget this extraordinary man and his fine character and courage that made him a true American hero. Thank you Major Audie L. Murphy for your outstanding service to your country. We may never see the likes of you again.
What a lovely sister, broke my heart listening to what they suffered as children, Audie was a good man, a Hero, Rest in peace Audie Murphy you will never be forgotten.
He was still being talked about when I was little. People had so much respect for him and you never heard a bad word about him. I was even enthralled and watch all his movies when they would televise them. My dad would tell me that he was a true hero. What a wonderful man. We need so many more like him.
A beautiful man..inside & out..w/a heart as big as Texas. What a Blessing 2 his family..& 2 all of us. My dad served in WW2 the same years as Audie..so proud of them both 🙂🙂❤❤
I have always admired Audie Murphy more than any of the other so called 'movie stars'. I am so glad that the power that be in Hollywood gave Audie Murphy a career as a movie star. After all Audie did in the U. S. Army he deserved it. In later life Audie had a lot of bad breaks and a mental problem with depression because of the sad memories of his Army . And unfortunatly he died in a plane crash of all things. What a horrible break for one who has done so much good. Life is strange. God bless his memory and spirit and soul. And I loved the way his sister talked here. She still must miss him deeply after all of these years.
This brought tears to my eyes I grew up in poverty and in awful children's homes in Ireland. I knew Audie Murphy was a hero and had a tough upbringing but I'd never heard his sister interviewed before God bless Audie Murphy and his sister ❤
This fills in a blank for me but does not surprise me...you can tell he is a compassionate, fair and honest man from watching him. Why can't other people strive for these traits?
Audie Murphy is a Texas legend and American hero, and my favorite hero, I love how even despite his struggles and fame he remained a kind and humble man. When I was in college, I had to give an informative speech on Audie Murphy. I was a little saddened to see that most of the class had no idea who he was, but after the speech some of the students were amazed at his actions during and after the war. He is an inspiration to me and hopefully many other Americans.
So touching hearing this praise from his sister and the love she feels for him throughout his ups and downs and how he was committed to them through a promise in bettering their lives.
If you can watch this without being moved emotionally, you are not human. She conveyed so much pain, sadness, but over all that was the Love she had for him. People don't know what suffering is.
What a touching tribute his sister gave him. And what a remarkable man, to go through everything he'd gone through and then to die like that. My family and I visited his grave in Arlington. How sad that his dad just walking away from his wife and children especially with his wife sick like that, and then for them to be put out into the cold and rain. I guess they are all together again now. And I can imagine he is still taking care of them in heaven. He was a incredible brother to his siblings. Men aren't made like him anymore. Thank you for your service Sir. And thank you for this interview Miss Nadine.
When I see something like this and then people who have no idea or don’t care what men like this endured for their families and their country, well I just can’t comprehend ... God bless our veterans, soldiers and their families.God bless the USA. And thank you.
I finally got to go on a trip to Washington, D.C., and my first stop was at Arlington National Cemetery and the tour bus stopped right beside Audie Murphy's grave and I was the only one on the bus to go over and give my respect. It is too bad the younger generation is not taught in the schools, colleges or universities what our forefathers, and heroes like Audie Murphy or my own father (WWII) and grandfather (WWI), went through to make and keep them free. Those who are destroying our country as I write this have not been taught how precious freedom is and how easily they can lose it forever.
I don’t know why there’s never been “another” movie about Audie Murphy’s life. Here, during the 21st century, the movie industries want to make movies about US hero’s...and they always miss the opportunity about Europe’s most decorated WWII hero: Audie Murphy. I think he was a Medal of Honor recipient as well. He came out of WWII and made something good of his life. Sad he died so young.
My sister die two years ago left me three little ones to raise. Because of Audie movie on American classic T.V. when I was a little boy. I learned from his experiences. Thank you Audie.
You brother is hero and always will be Audie Murphy will never be forgotten by us soldier of us army today he and my grandfather ww2 vet will always be my hero
From an Irish Man what a story you could see the Love they had for Audie may he rest in Peace in the words of Thomas Davis (Young Irelander) “Be my epitaph writ on my country’s mind, ‘He served his country and loved his kind’.” Thomas Davis (1814-1845)
May he never be forgotten. May his courage, selflessness, and sacrifices inspire an entire new generation of young people. Thank you for uploading this.
One of my favorite people of all-time... I've learned so much about him over a span of a few years. This just adds more respect to his resume. Brought tears to my eyes. He was a hero in a world filled with fake hero's. God rest his soul, and may God continue to bless his family.
I wonder...if his father hadn't deserted them and left them hungry and alone, the young ones to an orphanage, etc... would Audie have been able to do what he did. Who knows how many lives he saved, how many generations from those lives are here today because of him. I'm amazed there is no bitterness when she speaks of her dad, no judgment. Thank you for the video.
@@2410jrod MSGT BENAVIDEZ is a great warrior too, but for me Audie Murphy is the best not only because he killed a lot of Nazis, but also he fight his addiction from drugs the doctor gave him. Audie doesn't want every young lad to experience what he experienced from drug addiction Audie is an inspirational to every American
What a woman beautiful within humble and like her brother just someone you would love to meet and chat with . The love she has for her brother and siblings is etched into every furrow on her brow God Bless her.
