LT Michael McGreevy, this WODs namesake, along with PO1 Jeff Taylor (JT), six other SEALs and eight Army Nightstalker commandos died when their MH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan on June 28, during a daring night mission in a heroic attempt to reinforce a four-man SEAL reconnaissance squad that was ambushed in 10,000-foot mountainous terrain.

That four-man team was made up of LT Michael Murphy (MURPH), Matthew Axelson, and Danny Dietz who fought on courageously, providing protective fire that enabled a fourth squad member to escape before they were killed in the fierce firefight by overwhelming Taliban forces.

This is our last Hero WOD commemorating that faithful day. Make sure you give a little extra for LT McGreevy.
