#1 I never tire of hearing the story of this SEAL team either. Nice honor for Lt. Michael Murphy. Had Marcus Luttrell not survived, there would have been no one to know the heroism of Murphy and of his team. Luttrell's book, Lone Survivor is well worth reading.

#2 A little point to remember here amid all the bleating about OBL's funeral service is that his boys left the three SEAL's lost in action on this mission just lying there. The Ranger had to hunt through the hills to find their bodies.

#3 If you ever get to Cupertino, California. Stop in at Memorial Park on Stevens Creek not far from Highway 85.

The veterans memorial at the park memorializes the Red Wing operators, two of whom were from Cupertino.

If you are in the are, stop by and pay your respects. It's a friendly town.
