"Audie Murphys memorial is amazing. I have backpacker twice through the Brush Mountain Wilderness twice. Both times stopping to pay my respects to the American hero who served his country during a dark time that took the lives of over 20 million souls worldwide. If you find yourself on the Appalachian Trail in the Brush Mountain Wilderness stop and spend some time at the memorial. Afterwards, walk behind (west) it about 20 yards and you will find another tribute to another soldier if memory serves me correct at the view of the Eastern Continental Divide that's surreal when you take it all in and how special the ground you stand on for both American soldiers."
"Accessible from the Appalachian Trail. Its a moderate hike for experienced hiker's. The site is well marked for access to the ridge. Like many others I left a personal token of respect.. Audie Murphy was the most decorated soldier of WWII. The memorial was built by the Veterans of Foreign War. Its well maintained. Audie Murphey was killed in a plane crash near the site of this memorial. Its a quiet site for reflection."
"Well maintained area, nice hike for kids or adults. Monument is breathtaking!"
"Nice easy walk from the parking area. Maybe a mile. Good views as you walk along the mountain ridge. Nice monument to Audie Murphy at the top. With a great overlook and a bench looking out. Not much space on the gravel road leading to the parking area. Take a right at the top. As there is no sign directing you."
"What is there to say? This is near where Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WW2 died, and the monument serves him well. Its sparsely visited, but lovingly so. The nearby overlook is blocked by tree growth, which is a shame. Bring a memento to leave behind, and pay tribute to one of America's biggest heroes."
