From the transcript
Born into a large, poverty-stricken family in June 1925, and determined to escape the hardship of his early life, Aldi Murphy enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was 17. After training in North Africa, Murphy traveled to Sicily, where he was promoted to corporal and from there was sent to France.
Whilst in France, he saw his friend killed by a German soldier, and in a brutal revenge attack, Murphy killed all the Germans in the area and was awarded the Dist inguished Service Cross for his actions.
Despite sustaining three injuries, Murphy continued to prove himself as an outstanding soldier, killing 240 German soldiers throughout the rest of the war. His bravery and expertise earned him a total of 33 medals, including three purple hearts and the Congressional Medal of Honor.
