Why the continued silence?

I first heard this squid’s name in July ‘05.

Navy SEAL to receive Medal of Honor
Navy
Lt. Michael P. Murphy died in June 2005. He is the first SEAL to receive the honor since the Vietnam War.

Marcus Luttrel documents that day in “Lone Survivor”.

And yet Lt Murphy’s hometown TV station is screamingly silent on this. Just why is that? Perhaps someone from News12 Long Island would care to drop by and explain. I would go ask them, but you must pay a subscription fee for that privilege.

Hat tip to Scott at Powerline and Tony Perry at LATimes.

And to the family of Michael P. Murphy, your sacrifice is not in vain. Your son knew the cost that he could, and did pay. And we honor him.

Comments

I agree and I am also pleased to see people recognizing the importance of Michael P. Murphy being a true hero and why it isn’t better publicized is like a slap in the face.

2H9,

Real heroes make them understand how small and despicable they are.

Damn, Rod. I saw this in the early AM(though not at 06:51) at Powerline and then spent 2 hours going through archives and another going through currents and never thought of Navy Times.

Tunneling, it strikes in the oddest ways.
