Oh, gather 'round me, comrades
And listen while I weep;

i am/was a huge fan of audie murphy. aside from being extemely good looking, he was a very good actor. over the years i've enjoyed his moview. re his poetry, excellent. audie was one very talented man.
Six feet is considered the standard depth of hole used when digging graves, there's no set maximum depth, but I believe it is enforced that a minimum of six feet be dug, but might depend from city to city, or state to state
Six feet is considered the depth at which scavengers can't smell and dig up the body, so graves are usually at least 6' deep.
I didn't know he wrote poems also. Seems to me men who can write like this must have a gentle soul. I love him and his memory.
Anybody else only know about this thanks to that Sabaton song To and Back?
I live in the UK but over the years I have probably seen most of his movies. Although I have rad bits of information about him I didn’t realise he was quite so decorated or that he died so young. What is certain is that he was an extremely brave man and a patriot. This is a weak tribute but is posted with great respect.
Thank you Audie for the things you did and the stress you went through in this life to keep us free. And is 6 feet deep where our freedom comes from so many men and women who made it possible. RIP in peace brother.
Audie Murphy, The Most Decorated Soldier in the US Army Was also A Poet
A good effort by a man who lacked the confidence to sit the entrance exam to West Point
