Updated 14 June 08 harly69g
Florida has lost another son. It was Army PFC. Norman Michael "Ehren" Murburg's childhood dream to be a superhero. As an adult, he settled for Special Forces training. The 2005 High School graduate was found dead Tuesday morning after a training exercise.
His sister, Erica Murburg, said her brother seemed to enjoy the Army as much as he loved animals, classic rock, sports and video games. "Ever since he was little, we were raised to do good things for others,"
"He loved the Army. It made him happier than I've seen him since we were little kids. I was so proud of him for doing what it was he really wanted.
Ehren Murburg, didn't return from a 10-hour land-navigation test that ended at 1 a.m. About 475 soldiers searched for him until he was found.
The Army said that Murburg had water in two of his canteens and had used none of his emergency equipment.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of PFC Norman Michael "Ehren" Murburg. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Norman.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

As I get ready to write to you, the words fall away as almost meaningless because of the pain I know you feel. I know, because I have felt that pain.
Know that you are NOT alone on this difficult path. Others are there to help you: reach out and embrace them, for they are offering not only themselves, but sharing with you that little bit of the Almighty that resides in all of us. This offering/sharing is what WILL give you the strength you will need to get thru. Trust me.
Any service related death, whether accident or illness, wounds received or KIA, warrant the Gold Star for the family. Don't let anyone tell you different.
I offer you my services, such as they are. If you want to talk, feel free to get in touch with me thru the PGR messaging. I WILL return your call/message. ANYTIME!
In the meantime know that my wife's and my prayers are with you.
