NBC has put together a great video of the heroism displayed by the Navy Seals in Afghanistan and whose bravery will be rewarded Monday by President Bush when he gives the Medal of Honor to Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
I was wondering when the MSM would acknowledge Lt. Murphy…..hats off to NBC for reporting a very important story that needed to be told.

Yep, still not completely fixed. Needs to be “NBC.”

I doubt that Brian Williams knows anyone in the mil, so it comes as no surprise that he doesn’t have a clue that it hasn’t been called the Congressional Medal of Honor for a long time.
Typical MSM…

If anyone here has not read “Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrel I highly recommend it.
It is the story of the seal team that Michael Murphy was a part of and it is an amazing story of heroism, sacrifice, and love of country.
Add NBC to the list — LI Newsday,, the Post, and the Sun — that have covered this hero from their own backyard, giving him the honor he is certainly due.
However, we’re still waiting for the NYT to report …
Great story, just one thing,, it was NBC not CBS
Woops, thanks for the heads up. Fixed
Tremendous, great job posting this.
