Friend, Imagine standing alone against enemy forces, wounded and outgunned, yet refusing to back down. That’s exactly what World War II hero Audie Murphy did. On January 26, 1945, he climbed onto a burning tank destroyer and held off an entire German attack by himself. For his courage, he received the Medal of Honor and became the most decorated soldier of World War II. Years later, Hollywood aggressively edited the movie they made about him, because his life story wasn’t believable At the Bill of Rights Institute (BRI), we know stories like Audie Murphy’s are more than history. They are essential for teaching civic virtue, resilience, and courage. And today, when our nation needs principled, informed citizens more than ever, these tools matter deeply. That’s why we’ve created this lesson: “The Most Decorated American Soldier of World War II: Audie Murphy, World War II, and Courage” We want to get this video into the hands of teachers, homeschoolers, and students all over America. But we can’t do it without your support. That is why I’m asking you to donate $500, $250, $100, $50, or even just $25 right now. And as a special thank you for your support, we will give you access to our lessonon Audie Murphy. Your support makes it possible for students to learn about leadership that puts others first. It will teach tens of thousands of young Americans about the courage, patriotism, and honor that Audie Murphy modeled under pressure. Friend, I don’t need to tell you that these are values America’s children need to learn. If you’re willing to contribute, it will help students explore how Audie Murphy's unwavering courage allowed him to face overwhelming odds and inspire those around him, embodying a higher standard of personal responsibility and resilience. As a proud American, I know you want to ensure the next generation learns not just America’s history, but the values that made it great. Please use the link below to donate.
