The Sgt. Audie Murphy Medal, shown Feb. 19, 2020, at Fort McCoy, Wis., is worn by members of the Sgt. Audie Murphy Club. A new chapter recently started at Fort McCoy with the first meeting held Feb. 19 on the installation. The chapter’s namesake, Murphy, was arguably America’s most decorated combat Soldier of World War II and was a famous movie star. Murphy earned and received every decoration for valor the United States had to offer, including the Medal of Honor, plus five decorations presented to him by France and Belgium. Murphy fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany, and he earned a battlefield commission for courage and leadership ability, according to the website, audiemurphy.com. The club is a private U.S. Army organization for noncommissioned officers only. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
