Yesterday I posted "For Murphy's Law" here at The Drawn Cutlass. Today I want to post about another Murphy:
US Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who won the Medal of Honor posthumously in Afghanistan, and is having a Navy ship named after him.
BATH, Maine — Engaged in a frenzied firefight and outnumbered by the Taliban, Navy Lt. Michael Murphy made a desperate decision as he and three fellow SEALs fought for their lives on a rocky mountainside in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province in 2005.
In a last-ditch effort to save his team, Murphy pulled out his satellite phone, walked into a clearing to get reception and called for reinforcements as a fusillade of bullets ricocheted around him. One of the bullets hit him, but he finished the call and even signed off, “Thank you.”
Then he continued the battle.

Note: The "Murphy's Law" dog mentioned above is, himself, named after another heroic Murphy.
