Which two men were the most highly decorated military veterans of WWII?
Correct answer: Audie Murphy and Matt Urban
Major Audie Murphy
While Urban was a legitimate MoH recipient, he also spent years after the war putting in for medals to "beat" Murphy. In sharp contrast, Murphy gave all his medals away. Urban's over-sized gravestone lists every medal while Murphy has a regulation stone (as he thought the war dead were the true heroes) and lists only a few of his medals.

EccentricVirgo7913, you must not be an American. I praise those PATRIOTS who served and protected our liberties!

EccentricVirgo7913, the people who owe their lives and liberty to all the brave men like them should care.

Loved to watch Audie Murphy, a true hero and a very caring person who put others first. He took financial and custodial care of his siblings.

There was a movie called "The Audy Murphy Story" made in the 50's in which Audy played himself. He went on to become a Hollywood actor and played in many Westerns

minge eater, so sorry you feel that. In WW 1 and 2 we left tens of thousands of our young men beneath your soul, and we did it for everyone, including you.
Veritas
I would bet both men would have admired and respected each other and traded awards gladly to meet and shake each other's hand.

Kay: Player #26428257, never heard of Matt Urban. I wish I had, will have to look him up. Maybe not as cute as Audie, lol

Kay: Player #26428257, i had the biggest crush on Audie Murphy when I was a kid and he played Billy the Kid. I have always hated tge fact that Billy turned out to nit be the good guy they portrayed him in that particular film.
Still loved Audie.😊💖

One Wins in The lottery But one earns medals. Good Bless These Guys and Gals Who are willing to sacrifice everything for their country.
Gary
Watched his movie "To hell and back" where he portrayed himself. He was only 22 years old and a 2nd lieutenant when he won all those awards. He was the most decorated soldier in the entire 20th century even surpassing Sergeant York.

Major Audie Murphy, Audie Murphy was my favourite film star when I was growing up.he was a kind and gentle man and became such a big hero during the war. He was a quiet and unassuming extremely

You people would argue over the color of grass. Good gravy!!!

I remember Audie in a number of Westerns.

F8os6s13, I read his autobiography, To Hell and Back. Terrific book and he always denied being a hero. Very self effacing. But the question should read American. There may we'll be equally decorated soldiers from other countries.. Especially since the USA didn't enter the ear until after Pearl Harbour.
VividPotion6704
should say which US Veterans were most decorated? It was a World War guys, not an American one. Thank you to all those who protect our peace.

Xalver, sorry but as a UK player I follow world history as I imagine most UK players do
Eccles
need to clarify the question: it was a World war not a US one.
Xalver
Poorly worded. It should state most highly decorated American veterans. Also not something that is likely to be known outside the US. Thee men are certainly heroes. However not a great question for this game.

ItchyGuitarist5108, why? so hitler, mussolini, and tojo could control all of europe, africa, and north america, and also do away with our constitution?
Player #1197747
ItchyGuitarist5108, then move to some place like Russia where you'll be happy
