Navy SEAL Lt Michael Murphy received the Medal of Honor for his courageous actions and ultimate sacrifice during Operation Red Wings. He wore the FDNY L53 E43 patch from El Barrio's Bravest on his uniform - his best friend Owen was a member of El Barrios Bravest on 9-11-01; Owen's uncle FDNY Ladder Co 4 Lt Daniel O'Callaghan of Smithtown NY perished on 9-11-01. El Barrios Bravest has attended every event for Lt Murphy, has a tribute wall in their firehouse and mementos from L53 E43 will sail proudly aboard the USS Michael Murphy. The crest of the ship includes a Maltese Cross.
Just as our first responders tirelessly searched through the rubble at Ground Zero, so did many teams of handlers with Search & Rescue dogs. Many of these dogs wore their paws raw and died early because of respiratory problems. Words like LOYALTY and PERSEVERANCE describe not only our firefighters and rescue canines, but our military service members.
