Although quite a few heroes have emerged from recent conflicts, Audie Murphy remains at the forefront of this nation's memories. Even with only three years active service as a combat Soldier in World War II, Audie is still known as one of the best fighting combat Soldiers in history. His accomplishments during this period are the most significant and will probably never be repeated by another Soldier, given today's high-tech type of warfare. Although the United States Army has always stated that there will never be another Audie Murphy; he remains the epitome of what each and every Soldier today should strive to become.
