Murph”

Lieutenant Michael Murphy, of Patchogue, New York, was killed in action in Afghanistan during Operation Red Wings on June 28, 2005.

Murphy, a U.S. Navy Seal Officer, was the commander of a four-man reconnaissance team on a mission to capture or kill a top Taliban leader.

Murphy and two members of his team, plus sixteen U.S. military personnel were killed after his team was compromised and surrounded by Taliban forces.

Mike Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions that day, placing himself in the open, exposed to enemy fire in order to make a call to get the quick reaction force to help save his crew. He was the first member of the U.S. to receive this award since the Vietnam War.

Murphy is survived by his parents, Maureen and Daniel Murphy. He was engaged to his college sweetheart, Heather Duggan and their wedding was scheduled for November 2005.
