Back in September 2006, Matt Burden from Blackfive joined us for another edition of Someone You Should Know. He told us the story of Lt. Michael P. Murphy, Navy SEAL Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew G. Axelson and Petty Officer 2nd Class Danny P. Dietz. This was an incredible story of bravery, courage and sacrifice required to rescue one of their own. Today, all these months later, the identity of the SEAL saved by these amazing men was revealed.
