RIP. Another SEAL that you should read about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Murphy If you haven't read the book about operation Redwing, you should. Not much moves me but this first hand account of Marcus Lattrell did. The book is called Lone Survivor: Great Read. http://www.amazon.com/Lone-Survivor-.../dp/0316067598 video: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/211345...86372#19186372 One of the guys killed (Danny) in this operation went through BUDS with a buddy of mine. Hit pretty close to home. Danny & Marcus: Matt Axelson:

every soldier that gets up everyday, puts on his boots, and puts his life on the line makes me feel insignificant.
And every parent or spouse that sends their loved ones off to war is as much the hero as anyone else.

If you want to honor Lt. Murphy's name, do the crossfit workout "Murph". It's one of the Lt's favorite workouts he used to do wearing a flak vest. I'm always mindful of those who have fallen before us during the pain this one brings.

These guys deserve the funeral of all funerals. Good to hear their being acknowledged.
It's been nearly 7 months since a friend of mine was killed in Iraq doing what he believed in. Not a day goes by he doesn't cross my mind. |

Throwing yourself on a grenade to save the lives of others is not the act of a great warrior, necessarily. The people honored in this thread were great human beings. They, in a split second decision, gave their lives to save others.
They were great people, not great warriors (though I'm certain they fought valiantly). They ended up dieing for their country, but really they died to save their friends. Anyone can become a soldier, but when the shit hit the fan, these guys made the supreme sacrifice, for their buddies. They're an inspiration to me, to act more selfless, toward my friends, and everyone else around me. |
