<span style="font-weight: bold;">Source:</span> NavySEALs.com</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
by Mark Divine, Founder/CEO, NavySEALs.com</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
SEALs often take for granted the heroics of their own deeds. It’s part of the culture.<br />
“Above and beyond the call of duty” is simply the standard by which Naval Special Warfare operators measure their every-day tasks. It is inherent to that part of the SEAL Ethos that demands we “earn our Trident every day”.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
But even by such standards, Lieutenant Michael Murphy’s actions of 28 June 2005 were extraordinary. Surely he knew the risks associated with moving from a covered position to make a call for help, but he did it anyway. Why? Because the SEALs in his charge - his brothers - were in danger. And while in the open, cell phone in hand, calmly relaying his position to his team’s would-be rescuers, he took an enemy round squarely in the back. Un-phased, he picked up his phone and finished the conversation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
No one can know how he’ll perform under fire until the moment actually arrives. Michael Murphy’s conduct while engaged with the enemy not only exceeded the expectations of even the most battle-hardened combat veterans, but it also honored the tradition and memory of those SEALs who have sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom, but whose stories will never be told due to the highly classified nature of Special Warfare.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
I like to think the President’s posthumously awarding Lieutenant Murphy the Congressional Medal of Honor recognizes, in part, the contributions of Naval Special Warfare as a community to the Global War on Terror. Nineteen SEALs have been killed in action since 11 September 2001. Not since Vietnam has the community suffered such losses.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
Taking nothing away from Lieutenant Murphy’s remarkable courage and valor as an individual, his receiving our nation’s highest military honor nevertheless makes me proud for our entire community. We can never know exactly which influences or combination of values and experiences enabled Michael Murphy to perform as he did on that mountain in Afghanistan, but I think it’s fair to say that his SEAL brothers; BUD/s instructors, classmates, Teammates, and others; played a part. Each of us who wears the Trident should take great pride in that.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
Glory-seeking is not the way of the SEALs. That said, I am profoundly satisfied that our nation is honoring Lieutenant Michael Murphy in the manner he so rightly deserves.</div>

The new destroyer honors the late Lt. (SEAL) Michael P. Murphy, a New York native who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in combat as leader of a four-man reconnaissance team in Afghanistan. Murphy was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan, and the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War. The ship will be based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The U.S. Navy has a 237-year heritage of defending freedom and projecting and protecting U.S. interests around the globe.

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Warrior creeds, such as the Ranger’s famous creed, have been around for over a century to guide the actions of operators on and off the battlefield. The creed is a code of conduct and inspirational daily reminder of the “reason we train and fight” for the men and women of these units. Many outside observers point to the mission of the units and preparation of the teams when describing who these people are. Warriors know better. It is the Warrior Ethos that best describes who they are, an ethos that has been shared, albeit with different words, with the Samurai, the Spartans, the Marines and other Special Operations forces around the world.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">The SEAL Code was created just two years ago. Prior to this, the SEALs had an unspoken code defined by the culture, historical experience and training. “Leave no man behind” and “failure is not an option” are examples of cultural mantras that evolved as the unwritten “SEAL code” from the Teams battlefield experiences in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and elsewhere. We have held to this code, never leaving a teammate in the field, dead or alive. Recent experience in Afghanistan with Medal of Honor winner LT Murphy and his teammates exemplifies this code of conduct.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">The SEAL code, however, was not recorded or “written in stone” and as the community grew, it needed some grounding. Would it be more powerful if it were more than a few mantras like “leave no man behind” and “Failure is not an option?” It became clear to the SEALs that they needed a more comprehensive creed that was not subject to interpretation and erosion over time. In 2005 a cross-functional team from all ranks was brought together to ponder the issue and come up with a durable, written, code. The team took input from all quarters, and did some serious community soul searching to penetrate the essence of what it meant to be a SEAL. The results are nothing short of extraordinary.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">How do you think the SEAL Code stands up? Will it be powerful and durable enough to guide Naval Special Warfare operators into a chaotic future, much as the Ranger Creed has done for the Rangers?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">We at NavySEALs.com feel that the SEAL Code stands tall with the greatest creeds of martial history and is one of the most succinct articulations of how a warrior culture is to conduct themselves in war and peace. Read for yourself and decide:</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">• Earn your Trident everyday</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">United States Navy SEAL</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">I am that man.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Bravo! Let’s all try to live up to this wonderful code of conduct in our daily pursuit of excellence. I believe you would see some serious results.</span></div>
