History:

Thomas “Tom” Murphy was born December 20th 1983. An only child he grew up in Ohio with his mother Maria Jane Murphy and his father Timothy Murphy. Tom’s father would be a very inspirational figure to him. Timothy Murphy was Vietnam War vet, unlike most men drafted he volunteered as Tom’s grandfather Liam Murphy whom was also a Marine fighting in WWII on The Pacific Front. Tom had always looked to his family. His father and grandfather very much played a role in his future after High School.


Tom graduated high in 2002. September 11th had happened when he started school his senior year, he carried on his father and grandfathers legacy becoming a Marine. He was immediately brought to boot camp, and underwent intense training for many months. Soon he was stationed in Afghanistan.


Afghanistan was an extremely hostile land, especially in the early stages of Taliban occupation. Tom had fought in bloody missions against the Taliban, losing too many friends at the battlefield some he knew since boot camp. There were horrors that he cannot describe to anyone to this day. One mission he was nearly captured, his helicopter had been shot down only him and two other men survived the crash. Trapped in the wreckage as an only fortress against attacking Taliban whom seemed to surround them. Tom and the other two fought them off until rescue arrived to support them. Tom and the other two Marines were recognized for their endurance and bravery given the Medal of Honor.


In 2007 Tom had finally came back to his family in Ohio. His father had been proud of his son, he grew up to be a Marine just like him, it almost seemed like a tradition in the making. All seemed better for him to be finally home, away from warfare. But it all changed for him, he found out the week after his mother and father died in a car accident. Tom’s parents were the only people he had in life, and their deaths devastated him. He started going into a depression, not only thinking about his parents but his friends during the war dying gruesome deaths by The Taliban. It was difficult for Tom, but seeking therapy helped him somewhat ease his pain, to function in society. Tom had to get away from it all moving to Savannah Georgia, he found a new life becoming employed working at a hunting store, helping make money and make him at least social. But the pain it still lingers to this day. 2013 Tom will fight a war against not the living but the dead.
