I had the honor of meeting him in Iraq just a few months prior to his death. I would venture to say he is more decorated that Audie Murphy. Truly one of Americas greatest military heroes.

This question cannot be answered directly because it is a point of contention amongst various groups. Three soldiers I know of who are the subject of the debate regarding most decorated soldier are (in alphabetical order): Joe Hooper, Audie Murphy and Matt Urban. Further research should be conducted to weigh out the circumstances of each soldier's measure of merit before you come to your own conclusion.
Who is the most highly decorated combat officer in us army?
Audie Murphy ended the war as an captain, and was considered the "most decorated" American soldier of the war for many years. But Murphy earned most of his decorations as an enlisted man, before accepting a battlefield commission, then earning his Medal of Honor. In recent decades many have pointed to Major Matt Urban as a possible contender for the most decorated WWII soldier. Urban was an ROTC man from Cornell University, and earned all his decorations while serving as an officer. Urban served with the 60th Infantry of the 9th Infantry Division; Murphy was with the 15th Infantry of the 3rd Infantry Division.

What does decorated veteran mean?
With some exceptions, like dishonorable discharges, all servicemen have been awarded a medal, just completing basic training might earn them the National Defense ribbon. Therefore all veterans are decorated veterans...however, what the term "decorated veteran" has come to mean to people in general; is a veteran that has been awarded a medal for valor (decorated for valor or decorated for heroism). So even though a servicemember is decorated with a medal (only the ribbon is actually worn), only the ones "for valor" are generally what the term "decorated veteran" pertains to.
