Cool find. White death was a badass. Actually most of those guys/kids were.

Murphy and York were a couple of my early heros/role models.

Murphy is so bad ass that the army actually made an award in his name, the Audie Murphy Award. I tried for it twice and failed the board portion.

What they fail to mention is that Chuck Norris took that medal 20 out of 21 times it was awarded.

A little info on Alvin York with the five germans running towards him. He had three rounds left in his rifle ( P17 in .30-06 ), so he used his 1911 in .45 acp to shoot them starting with the last one and working to the front.
When asked about why he started in the back, he replied " If I would have shot the guy in front first, the rest would have turned and run away". |
