What a difference a few months make. In February we had the privilege to unite these two amazing gentlemen after discovering their respective service stories intersected in the frigid waters off Cherbourg in December 1944. Jack Hamlin was among those sent to rescue the survivors off the torpedoed HMS Cappel of whom Morrell Murphy was one. Sadly Jack passed away on 20 July 2024 and today on the eve of Remembrance Day, we learned with great sadness, that Morrell has also left us. For those present, the moments witnessing these two gentlemen interact was absolutely surreal. We are indebted to The Warrior Next Door Podcast ,Dr. Norm Knowlton and Mr. Murphy's granddaughter Jennifer, for facilitating their meeting.

May God bless you both, dear gentlemen. We are honored to have met you and now carry a tiny part of your beautiful legacies. Godspeed to you both. Rest in perfect peace.

I hope you enjoyed the Ryan Downing series! Our next series starts tomorrow. We feature Al Johnson, who served with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII. Al was a member of Operations Group (OG) Patrick and Blueberry who fought behind enemy lines in France and China, respectively, during WWII.
Of the 14 million+ servicemen who fought in WWII, only ~7,500 served as an OG with the OSS. This is a truly special and remarkable story!

We salute the soldiers who stepped foot on the beaches of Normandy on this day 80 years ago to liberate a continent from oppression, fear and tyranny. We owe you so much. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” Gen. George S. Patton
