Crossfit enthusiasts at Osan Air Base, Korea, conduct a hero workout, affectionately called The Murph, to honor fallen Navy Seal Lieutenant Michael Murphy. During a firefight in Afghanistan 2005, Lieutenant Murphy moved away from protective cover to transmit a rescue call, risking his own life for the safety of his three seal teammates.
