Just remembered that today is Audie Murphy's birthday.


If you don't know who that is, or even if you do, you should read the wiki link below. I'm not sure what planet this guy was from, but God love him. He's a whole 'nother species, he was one of the good guys, and he should never be forgotten.

Among the MANY unbelievable accolades:

"Murphy's platoon was attacked by German soldiers while making their way through a vineyard. He retrieved a machine gun that had been detached from the squad and returned fire at the German soldiers, killing two and wounding one.[52] Two Germans exited a house about 100 yards (91 m) away and appeared to surrender; when Murphy's best friend responded, they shot and killed him. Murphy advanced alone on the house under direct fire. He killed six, wounded two and took 11 prisoner.[52]"
