Michael Murphy and those who serve.

Now this man and a few others I want to talk about in people who need to be on a T shirt that are true heros unlike Che who the my generation idolizes. This man is name Michael P Murphy and if you ever read the book or watch the movie Lone Survivor then you would know what this man did but to those who did not here is what happen. Him and his team where sounded by terrorist and everyone was shoot and bleeding so he desides to put himself in dnager by going to a ledge to make a call for help on his Satellite phone which ends up getting him killed but not before he got the word out they need help. Unfortunately their help was shot out of the sky and only one made it out of the four man team and the survivor was Marcus Luttrell.

Then you have this man Norman Cyril Jackson who saved his entire bomb crew during World war 2. He was a crewman on a Lancaster bomber and when his team was flying a night misson they got hit and engine was on fire. Instead of bailing out first this man gets out of the plane with a fire extinguisher and tries to put out the fire himeself. He ends up failing and falling off the plane. Now this man was injured before he tried this and on top of that he sliped while up their and got burned by the same fire he was trying to put out and when he saw nothing could be done he let go and parachuted out of their and the fire that he was trying to put out caught his shoot on fire and when he hit the ground he broken a few bones.

Now my point in all of this is these men are just examples of many who risked their lives for others. Without even thinking about their own safety. Many of them just seeing it as their job that needs to be done. The people who put on a unifrom everyday to protect our freedoms and our love ones for very little in return deserve to be recognized as heros. They are willing to take a bullet not only for those they fight with but those who are back at home. When the world is burning they are called to go into hell to put those fires out and some never make it back to tell the tale.
