Welcome to a special Memorial Day episode of the Battle Buddy Podcast, and our 100th episode! In this episode, we have a very special guest, Edward Murphy, a Gold Star father who shares with us his personal story of loss and how he and his family turned their tragedy into a foundation that provides legal services to military and veteran families in need.
Edward's son, Nick Murphy, was a dedicated Navy serviceman who dreamed of becoming a Navy SEAL. Tragically, Nick passed away after being struck by a car one night. Ed shares with us the challenges that come with losing a child, especially one who is serving our country, and how he and his family coped with their grief.
In honor of Nick, the Murphy family founded the Nicholas J Murphy Foundation, which provides free or low-cost legal services for divorce or custody cases to military and veteran clients in need. Edward shares with us how the foundation has helped countless families navigate the legal system during difficult times, and how they have donated almost $1,000,000 in assistance to date.
As we remember and honor our fallen heroes this Memorial Day, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about the struggles that military and veteran families face, and how we can support them during difficult times. Tune in now to hear from Ed Murphy and learn more about the Nicholas J Murphy Foundation and their mission to help those who have served our country.
May we never forget those who gave everything for our country.
