I came across this on facebook… I have credited the man who did this and shared it originally What he doesn’t know that in his honoring Lt. Murphy he has comforted a Gold Star mom who sometimes wonders if the “Grateful Nation” exists.
Thank you Mr. Beaurline

As promised… I just walked into a local pub (PUB 25, Newtown, CT) and asked to speak with the Owner/Manager. I asked if I could leave a cold one on the bar for Michael all day . I showed him the “Reserved” sign I made and explained I wanted to leave him sufficient funds to buy a random person a Guinness every hour today, and that when the surprised patron asks him “Who is this from?” he should reply: “It’s from LT Michael P. Murphy.” and point to the reserved sign. The Owner/Manager was so in tune with this small gesture, he refused my money, introduced me to two men working in the PUB who just returned home from Afghanistan and Iraq with the ASSURANCE that my request on Michael’s behalf would be honored. God Bless America!
Lt. Michael Murphy, Medal Of Honor Recipient
It was my privilege to honor LT Michael P. Murphy on ST. Patrick’s Day. It only seemed fitting to honor an Irish American Hero on that day. I thought I would open the eyes of just a few citizens that never heard the story of him and his four man SEAL TEAM. My simple gesture went “viral” across the Internet and on that day tens of thousands of people read of, spoke of, prayed for, and toasted LT Michael P. Murphy. For that I am pleased as my mission for a fallen Brother at arms, “Seal Of Honor” with a ” Heart of a lion” was clearly accomplished. He was NOT FORGOTTEN.
