LT Michael P. Murphy, USN
Word is it’s official–Medal of Honor (posthumous). SDV team member; the unit we used to work with. Details here.
One time on the boat a guy asked me, while I was complaining about something or other involving SDV ops, what I’d do when his team didn’t return to the rendezvous point. I answered what I could but still am unhappy about my inadequate response; these guys go in to work when there are not many options when things go south.
LT Murphy led good men well and will be missed–and remembered.

He even looks a bit like Chuck Norris, except for appearing (to my eyes) somewhat cooler, and manlier, and more earnest.
I’m referring to his last photo, taken in the field, with beard. Kewl&Manly.
