Today, we honor Second Lieutenant Audie Leon Murphy. Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B during an attack by tanks and infantry. He directed artillery fire, killing many enemy soldiers, and climbed onto a burning tank destroyer to use its machine gun. Despite being wounded and under heavy fire, Murphy held his position, causing the enemy to retreat. His bravery saved his company and held the woods against the enemy.
