A Myth in Action: The Heroic Life of Audie Murphy, relates the life of a Texas farmboy who enlisted in the Army in 1942. By the end of WWII, 5 6 and barely twenty, he had been field-commissioned and had won more medals for valor than any soldier in American history.
Audie Murphy died on May 28, 1971, at the age of 46, when the small plane he was riding in encountered bad weather and struck a mountainside near Roanoke, Virginia. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, where his grave, near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, remains a much-visited destination even today.
