The Congressional Medal of Honor was but one of the accolades bestowed upon a son of Texas, Audie Murphy, who had already become the most decorated G.I. of WWII—while still a teenager. After the war, Murphy found success as an actor and then starred in the hit film version of his autobiography, reliving explosive and traumatic battles he fought and re-creating the urgency of his heroism. With Jack Kelly, David Janssen, Denver Pyle, and Susan Kohner.
