There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre. (Louis L'Amour)

Skull Leader and Elk Hunter both provided the same link to see the autobiographical movie, To Hell and Back, that covers Murphy’s Army service from North Africa, to Sicily, to Italy, to southern France, to the Colmar Pocket in the Alsace Region of France, just west of the Rhine (where the father of Forum member, Schmelby, fought with the 12th Armored Division, God Bless him). I was able to enter the provided website and watch the movie on big screen tv. Murphy fought in 7 campaigns during the War, was wounded 3 times, and was awarded EVERY medal/decoration in the U.S. Armed Services. He was turned down by the USMC, USN, and USA paratroopers, before landing in the 3rd Infantry Division (Broken TV) as a private. At the time of his death he held the rank of major.
