[edit] "Lord Love Him and His Family and Give Them The Guidance and Wisdom To Do What Is Right."

This article semes to show wikipedia as a memorial site... maybe someone should make it a bit more NPOV? JaMiE P 03:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Rklawton (talk) 20:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phone

The possibilities are: cell phone, radio, and satellite phone. Based on what I've read, he was using a satellite phone. If someone would provide a reliable source indicating which, it would be useful. The matter isn't trivial since it was the nature of the technology that forced Murphy to move into the open in order to make his call for help. Rklawton (talk) 20:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silver Star?

The infobox suggests he was also awarded the Silver Star, but the text of the article has no mention of it. Anyone know the circumstances that got him the Silver Star? Ydorb (talk) 22:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
