The true meaning of America, you ask? It is in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman’s badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper… In all these things, and many more, you will find America. In all these things you will find freedom, and freedom is what America means to the world! And to me! Audie Murphy (1925-1971), Most decorated combat soldier in WWII. Actor, song writer and rancher.
