NOTES:
On June 28th, 2005 a four man Special Reconnaissance Detachment from SDV Team 1 comprised of Lt. Michael Murphy and Petty Officers Matt Axelson, Danny Dietz, and Marcus Luttrell became compromised by Afghan Civilians who reported the teams position to local Taliban fighters.  During the subsequent firefight all of the SEALs were shot multiple times yet fought on.  In a selfless act of valor Lt. Murphy left a position of cover to place a satellite phone call to summon a quick reaction force.  He was shot again after exposing himself to summon help for his team.  Ultimately only Marcus Luttrell would survive the engagement after Escaping and Evading to a friendly village.  For selfless bravery Lt. Michael Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor.  You can read the official citation here.  Also, two books capture the life of Lt. Murphy and the men of Operation Redwings, Seal of Honor, and Marcus Luttrell's personal account, Lone Survivor.  We remember our heroes.
