RIP LT!

Oh Yeah, I hear ya.

Read the book by his team mate, the only one who survived. It is a best seller, but a very good account of this story. What a terrible loss.

I was also disturbed by the 'Taliban video of the battle that has appeared on some of the TV stories today about the award ceremony. Nothing graphic, but just the idea these tu_ds were hunting these guys.

Prayers sent for Lt. Murphy, his fallen teammates, and their families.

May their country forever remember their sacrifice.

It is about time.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Lone Survivor. The courage that those four men displayed is incredible, and inspirational. I would recommend the book to everybody.

America's greatest. Thank God there are courageous soldiers like these men. They are the example that the rest of the USA should emulate.

Pray for the safety of our fighting hero's. God bless them and their families.
