Lt. Michael P. Murphy

Having served in the US Army for over 15 years, I continue to be very patriotic and emotional, both happy and angry. I absolutely support and defend the memories and actions of our fallen heroes, not to mention those who still serve. Michael's actions (now, his story) moved me tremendously. I saw the movie "Murph, The Protector", and it brought me to tears. While I was deployed in support of OIF/OEF in 2005-2006, my job was direct support of JSOC and their operators. I don't know for certain if I met Michael or any of his team members (in Qatar)..... These words don't seem to be grasping my deepest feelings, the pain, the anger, the sorrow, the pride or love I feel for the community of men that Michael belongs to. True heroes wear dog tags. With every beat of my heart, I thank you Michael for your decision to defend me every day of your life, and I thank every other man who does that same job still today. I love and respect you all. Thank you for your bravery, your courage and your sacrifice. I will never forget. And I know that Michael still defends and stands watch today, with his brothers-in-arms....

God Bless you for your heroism..you are truly a hero to me.

Russell Snider - R.I.P. Lt. Murphy. Your legacy will stand forever. Thank you for your sacrifice.

God bless you and your family. Forever grateful.

To the Murphy family, I have read both Seal of Honor and Lone Survivor and remain amazed by the bravery, courage, and sacrifice exemplified by LT Murphy and his men. Their actions in the face of such austere circumstances speaks volumes of themselves and the thousands of men and women who serve our great nation. Being a service member myself and having served tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I share a common bond with Mike. His story serves as an inspiration to me. God bless your family and God bless America.
