I was on liberty from the Navy (Virginia) and was watching the movie very late at night while the rest of the family slept.

Also, if you saw the movie ...Another +1 to Toejam. Also, if you saw the movie "To Hell And Back" and enjoyed it, do yourself a favor and read the book. Gives you a bit of a different outlook on Mr. Murphy.<br /><br />And if any of y'all get out to the Dallas area, head east on I30 for a couple miles (maybe a few more than a couple) and visit the Audie Murphy memorial in Greenville.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-38492528945942839822013-05-25T09:17:34.994-05:002013-05-25T09:17:34.994-05:00+1 Toejam.+1 Toejam.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-62375197278141420532013-05-25T08:43:32.014-05:002013-05-25T08:43:32.014-05:00+1 on Toejam, and Audie Murphy WAS a true hero (an...+1 on Toejam, and Audie Murphy WAS a true hero (and dealt with PTSD till the day he died.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-40128930062561733172013-05-25T07:21:35.896-05:002013-05-25T07:21:35.896-05:00He was born near here.

I never tire of watching Audie in that fantastic movie.<br /><br />Then again I'm 70+ and was brought up in an era where saluting and saying the "pledge of allegiance" the flag, singing the National anthem at the start of every school day were not only mandatory, but ingrained in a culture of "love of Country".<br /><br />Sadly, I fear the young ones of today would rather be inflating their egos by "tweeting" or "FaceBooking" about themselves and their favorite Zombie move to others of their ilk.
