As our military around the world sacrifice, and fight for America in some of the most dangerous environments on earth, I notice the difference in reporting , between heroes like Lt. Michael Murphy Navy Seal, who recieved the highest military award for valor, the Medal of Honor......and Al Gore who recieved the Nobel Peace prize. This great American Lt. Murphy fought to the death, for every American citizen.....even the ungrateful agenda media.
This is Lt. Michael Murphy's story As reported by- Now Public;
In a White House ceremony this afternoon, President Bush presented the first Medal of Honor awarded for combat in Afghanistan. The family of SEAL and Navy Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy accepted the medal which honors the heroism of Lt. Murphy who was killed when his four man SEAL team engaged in a fire fight with some thirty Taliban terrorists.
SEAL signifies “Sea, Air and Land.”
Lt. Murphy, from Long Island, N.Y, gave his life while making a radio call for help which resulted in the rescue of one of his men.
President Bush presented the nation’s highest military honor for valor to the family. Lt. Murphy’s father recieved the Purple Heart for wounds in the Vietnam war."Michael Murphy stood on a holy hill, one that ultimately led to an eternal presence," said Rear Adm. Robert F. Burt, Chief of Navy Chaplains, in a prayer opening the White House ceremony.
The president also told some family stories about Michael Murphy, who swam the length of a neighbor’s pool alone before he reached the age of two.

“There’s a lot of awards in the military, but when you see a Medal of Honor, you know whatever they went through is pretty horrible. You don’t congratulate anyone when you see it,” said Marcus Luttrell, the lone member of Murphy’s team to survive the firefight with the Taliban.
Luttrell called Murphy the bravest man and the finest warrior he had ever known.
Murphy, Luttrell and two other SEALs were searching for a terrorist in the Afghan mountains on June 28, 2005, when their mission was compromised after they were spotted by locals, who presumably alerted the Taliban to their presence.
An intense gun battle ensued, with anti-coalition fighters swarming around the outnumbered SEALs.
Although wounded, Murphy is credited with risking his own life by moving into the open for a better position to transmit a call for help.
Still under fire, Murphy provided his unit’s location and the size of the enemy force. At one point he was shot in the back, causing him to drop the transmitter. Murphy picked it back up, completed the call and continued firing at the enemy who was closing in.
He then returned to his cover position with his men and continued the battle. A U.S. helicopter sent to rescue the men was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all 16 aboard.
The Taliban fighters were reinforced by 50 or more terrorists.
By the end of the two-hour gunfight, Murphy and two of his comrades were also dead. An estimated 35 Taliban were also killed.
Luttrell was blown over a ridge and knocked unconscious. He escaped, and was protected by local villagers for several days before he was rescued.
“We look at these guys and say, ‘What heroes,’” said Murphy’s father, Dan Murphy.
“These guys look at themselves and say, ‘I’m just doing my job.’ That’s an understatement, but that’s the way they view it, and that was Michael’s whole life.”
Murphy, who died before his 30th birthday, is the fourth Navy SEAL to earn the award and the first since the Vietnam War.
Two Medals of Honor have been awarded posthumously in the Iraq war: to Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham, who was killed in 2004 after covering a grenade with his helmet, and to Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith, who was killed in 2003 after holding off Iraqi forces with a machine gun before he was killed at the Baghdad airport.
As I've watched the agenda media salivate this past year and speculate whether Alford Gore would win the Nobel peace prize, I wondered what Alford has done, that is worth month after month of this news coverage.
Is it because this bloated cartoon character made a fictional horror film? This is what the media considers heroism and news- all the while we have American men and women fighting in foreign lands, to protect the freedoms that we all should cherish.
Brave Americans like Lt. Murphy are just a passing mention in the news, even though his bullet riddled body, and those of his SEAL team, continued to fight the enemy, as they drew their last breath, and slipped into eternity.
Saying THANK YOU to these unselfish heroes, just doesn't do justice to the respect, admiration, and appreciation I have for them.
As for Al Gore, and his Nobrains peace prize - awarded to him by the most corrupt, well funded gang on the planet, may it burn in his global warming dreams. If the United Nations insist on giving Alford a prize- give him a trophy for his self proclaimed invention of the internet.....
and his invention of the biggest myth/hoax/scam- since the Lie of evolution- man made global warming.
