One class only on Memorial Day-9am!
In July 2002, Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy became a SEAL and earned the nickname “The Protector.” Three years later, Lieutenant Murphy was deployed to Afghanistan and put in charge of the Alpha Platoon, which was part of SEAL Delivery Team ONE.
While out on a mission in June 2005, Murphy’s team was ambushed by a Taliban force. In order to call for help, Murphy was exposed to enemy fire. He was shot in the back while trying to contact headquarters. Although wounded, he continued to fight until he was killed, giving his team members time to escape. Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor.
Today, not only does the movie “Lone Survivor” provide an account of the events, but each Memorial Day, in honor of Lieutenant Murphy, CrossFit Boxes across the country complete “Murph.”
