Audie Murphy – United States Army

Not only did Audie Murphy serve in the Army but he was one of the most decorated combat soldiers. Murphy wanted to join the military so badly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, that he falsified his documents to meet the minimum-age requirement. His sister helped him achieve that and so he enlisted in the Army after being refused by the Navy and the Marine Corps. Honored with a Medal of Honor, Audie had troubles sleeping after the war and developed an addiction to sleeping pills. He also slept with a loaded gun under his pillow. He did, however, have a successful acting career.
