Audie Murphy was an American soldier and actor who received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, such as the Medal of Honor. At the age of 19, Murphy single-handedly held off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in 1945, then led a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. After the war, Murphy became an actor, and while most of his roles were westerns, he also played himself in a movie based on his memoirs.
Murphy even inspired movie soldier Rambo, one of Sylvester Stallone's most iconic characters. He died in a plane crash in 1971.
