On this episode of Our American Stories, before Audie Murphy became the most decorated American soldier of World War II, he was a poor Texas farm boy who spent his childhood picking cotton, hunting rabbits to feed his family, and struggling to survive during the Great Depression. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Murphy was determined to serve his country, even though he was underage, undersized, and repeatedly turned away by military recruiters.

Roger McGrath returns with another installment of our Hollywood Goes to War series to share the remarkable true story of Audie Murphy's rise from an impoverished teenager to a Medal of Honor recipient and beyond.
