During a tour of the cemetery, Chastain stands beside the headstone of First Lieutenant Audie L. Murphy, a veteran recognized as the most decorated combat soldier in World War II. The Trackhouse Racing driver also stops by the memorials of the astronauts killed during the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle missions.
