1. Oct. 20, 2019 Audrey Murphy, this man has always been my hero and have seen about every movie he has ever made, I am going to try and make it there. His actions in the wars was what made me join when I did, but I was in the Air Force and spent twenty years in doing so. I had always wanted to meet this man and I will when I pass away someday. I have been a fan of his since I was a young man watching his movies many years ago. Thanks, Wesley Young Retired military |
