In the fifties, we tried to forget what had happened.
It was easier for some than for others.
On my bureau was a photograph of a soldier;
that was all that was left.
World War II combat soldier Audie Murphy,
poet, songwriter, actor, hero,
who battled Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression,
was the most decorated soldier in World War II.
Audie Murphy was killed in a plane crash on Memorial Day Weekend.
The damn war was never over, was it?
