LT. Michael Murphy: I wish I could shake your hand, I wish I could have known you, I wish I could have been by your side. I wish I could thank you for your service, and shake your father's hand, hug your mother, and offering my condolences. I wish you could still be alive here on this Earth and well.

But you are not.

Thanks for the post Jeff.

Seems lately gallantry, heroism and patriotism are becoming Politically Incorrect.

Umm... We're not actually allowed to mention these items in the second line in the UK these days. Smacks too much of "Britishness". Even in support of our American cousins. Well actually, especially in support of our American cousins.

That's not Politically Correct you see...

I hasten to add in the MOST PC manner that It's okay if you're in Britiain but NOT supporting Britiain or ANY cousins of course!

Ohoh! Thought Police on way....

In the pooh now.
