Army Maj. Audie Leon Murphy is a World War II legend whose name is still easily recognizable today. Murphy was a movie actor, a country-western songwriter and a poet, but it was his wartime heroics and the Medal of Honor he received for them that first made him a household name.(Submitted on July 31, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
