Satkaaryog Lieutenant Brian Murphy

[osingh]

Today siropas have been made cheap and awards such as "Panth Rattan" has been awarded to a dusht.

However there is one person for sure that the entire Sikh Panth should give full Satkaar (Respect) to. This person bravely arrived on the scene at Wisconsin Gurdwara Sahib and saw a person lying on the floor outside the Gurdwara. This brave American went to help this person and was ambushed by the criminal/coward Wade Michael Page and shot multiple times.

Later additional police officers arrived at the scene and saw the injured Lieutenant Brian Murphy. However when this brave Lieutenant saw police the officers instead of asking for medical aid he encouraged officers to go and find the criminal inside the temple. Vaah!

This brave police officer along with the other police officers who helped kill this criminal should be presented with a siropa at sri Akal Takht by the Jathedar himself along with financial aid.

This will send a message around the world that the Sikh Panth respects courage and service to mankind irrsespective of race or background.

A white American killed many innocent people but it was also white American officer who came to help our fellow Sikh brothers and sisters. It is not the skin colour or background of the person we should look at instead we should look at their actions.

I bow my head to the bravery of the police officers involved in this tragedy and also to Lieutenant Brian Murphy.

I believe Lieutenant Brian Murphy ji is still in hospital. May Akaal Purakh bless him and other injured victims with a speed recovery and chardi kala!

Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh!

This man is a hero. And I agree, no less than the Akal Takht Jathadar himself should give him a Saropa on the behalf of the entire Panth.

A true hero

Daas is serious in regards to honouring this brave officer. Is there any way in which we can contact the Akal Takht Jathedar and let him know that the entire Sikh Panth would like him to honour the Lieutenant personally. If the Akal Takht Jathedar did this it would send out a great message worldwide. I'm sure nobody would object to the Jathedar either flying directly to America to offer him siropa or even better call him to Akal Takht and offer him and other officers siropa and other aid infront of the worlds media.

Maybe someone could make this suggestion on the various discussion shows on Sikh Channel and they can then pass this on to the Jathedar themselves.

It is vital that the leadership our Panth is proactive in these situations and not reactive. Also we must not forget the brave Sikhs who were in the Gurdwara during this massacre who also acted bravely and gave their lives fighting this criminal. The SGPC should also provide support to our Sikh brothers and sisters who were caught up in this tragedy.

LOL this man shud b given an award of some sort, but if u want him 2 b rewarded @ akal takht, u need 2 ask badal, not akal takht jathedar, remember badal runs sikhi now apparntly, not jus panjab, unfortunatly.

The local Gurdwara or groups like sikh coalition can do it
