Best Answer

Thirty-three Texans won the Medal of Honor-twenty-five in the army or air force and eight in the navy or marines. One of these, Lt. Audie L. Murphy of Farmersville, was the most highly decorated American in the war. Commander Samuel D. Dealey of Dallas, another Texas recipient of the Medal of Honor, was the most highly decorated man in the United States Navy. James Earl Rudder was decorated for his service as commander of the Second Ranger Battalion at D-day. More than 150 generals and twelve admirals were either natives or residents of Texas. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme Allied commander in Europe, was born in Denison .

(Although the state had 5 percent of the United States population, it provided 7 percent of those who served in the armed forces .)
