On Collin County Day, memories of war hero and movie star Audie Murphy

 More than 15 Collin County officials stood on the House dais this morning, as House lawmakers passed three resolutions praising the county's rapid population growth and two of its leaders, Collin College president Cary Israel and Rep. Jerry Madden , R-Richardson. The main resolution, HR 740 , says Collin County is known for "safe streets, schools and neighborhoods."

Perhaps the most famous, though, was a former resident, the late Capt. Audie Murphy of Farmersville.
