My computer is having a glitch and due to some "interruption" won't let me shrink any pictures. These ones suck because they are off of a video. Our first show. And I bawled like a baby after day 1 because I actually survived. We've had a long road, Audie and I. The emotions were a bit overwhelming when I left the ring.

Posting this for Chandlers Mom..
Thanks so much Miss Roxie for posting for me. I know it's hard to read, but when I saw it I thought of Krystal and her Audie. I thought she would like to see that the hospital named after Mr Murphy helped make a dying soldier's wish come true---and it involved horses. Just wanted to post it for her!!
It says: Audie L Murphy Memorial VA hospital fulfilled paralyzed Vietnam War veteran Roberto Gonzale's dying wish on May 21---one last meeting with his horses Ringo and Sugar. He passed away two days after the reunion.
I of course squalled, but then thought of "our" BHW Audie. . . .
It was one of People magazine's 2016 "Year in Pictures".

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I was able to click on the jpg file and zoom in. I loved it!! I'm so glad you thought of me. I love all things military and that is something I love to read about. I had no idea there was a hospital named after Audie! I have read just about everything on him, but didn't know that! Audie loved horses. Not sure if anyone really knew that. He used to race some as well. Here is a really neat website about him. http://www.audiemurphy.com/photo_hor.htm |

Awww your welcome Krystal,, , Audie Murphy was a hero of my Dads too, Every time a Audie movie came on Dad was going to be watching it if he had the time too. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | When I started to become facinated with WWII, I read a few snippets here and there about him. He was just such a good person. His men under his command loved him. He left a real impression with me. That's why I had to name a horse after him. http://www.audiemurphy.com/amrf/amrf_news1.pdf |

Location: Kansas | If you want to know much more about Audie Murphy, read his autobiography "To Hell and Back"." There's also a movie of the same name. I know his history forward and backward. Most decorated soldier of World War II. Jimmy Cagney introduced him to Hollywood. He never made a movie I didn't see. Excellent rider and didn't have to pretend to be a fast gun in his westerns.....he was.
