Hunter McIntyre, the professional athlete, television personality and fitness trainer, just broke a record Saturday for The Murph Challenge, the yearly Memorial Day tradition to honor a fallen warrior.
— “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life,” as the official citation read — and was spotlighted in the 2013 movie, “Lone Survivor.” He also was the first SEAL to have a ship named after him — McIntyre said: “Memorial Day is all about the veterans and I was never in the military but I do my best to spend the weekend with those who were. I want to show my appreciation for their service and have a good time with them.
The Murph Challenge has grown every year. It’s also served as a fundraising effort for the Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation.Many men and women are among the untold number of veterans who served and survived during times of war only to die in recent weeks from the coronavirus. This year’s Memorial Day will pay tribute not only to those who died on the battlefield but more recent fallen soldiers. And in a reminder of the way coronavirus has transformed American lives and traditions, many of the usual Memorial Day gatherings have been either canceled or curtailed — mindful of the pandemic that has already killed more than 90,000 people in the U.S.
