Why is America Great?

As Americans, we take a number of things for granted. I know it is easy to forget how we became the great country that we are today and I know it is easy to forget the sacrifices others make for us on a day to day basis while on strange and distant soil. One such person is Lt. Michael Murphy, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Murphy died while conducting counter-terrorism operations in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Coalition forces located the sailor while conducting a combat search and rescue operation July 4, 2005 in Kunar Province.

Our "Mothership," www.crossfit.com, honored Lt. Murphy by posting his favorite workout the other day. Please join this honoring of a great hero by completing his workout and let us know how you did.
