Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan in June 2005.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust completed this year\u2019s <a class=\"xil3i\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/murphchallenge\/\">#MurphChallenge<\/a>,\u201d Pratt captioned the video.<\/p>\n<p>The workout typically includes a mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, and closes with another mile run. It was apparently one of\u00a0Murphy\u2019s usual workouts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2014 movie \u2018Lone Survivor\u2019 features Murphy\u2019s story as his character was played by Taylor Kitsch,\u201d KSNT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksnt.com\/news\/local-news\/lpd-officers-go-through-murph-challenge-to-honor-veterans\/\">noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Pratt told his followers on Memorial Day to\u00a0please show \u201csupport for our fallen\u201d and told people who might \u201cb**** and moan about America\u201d in the comment section to \u201cnever forget your right to free expression is paid for in blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica\u2019s exceptional armed forces have altered the course of the world for the better,\u201d Pratt continued the post. \u201cFrom the Union Army defeating slave owning confederates, to the Greatest Generation and her Allies vanquishing the Nazis or our special operators hunting down the perpetrators of 9\/11. We count the names of each fallen soldier lest they be countless. They are the good guys. They run to the sound of gunfire. They know pain and suffering we never will. They have given us the most free and decent society planet earth has ever seen. We run the risk of losing that decency when we fail to instill gratitude in the minds of our youth or the perspective of what it actually means to be free- should they never learn of the selfless sacrifice of our armed service members in the face of oppressive evil. So join me in showing support for our fallen.\u00a0Take a quiet moment to really consider the sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if you use the comments section on posts like this to b**** and moan about America please understand there are countries in the world where criticizing your government will get you killed or imprisoned,\u201d he added. \u201cCriticism is a right and necessity in amending the flawed systems of man. So by all means, let your voice be heard. But never forget your right to free expression is paid for in blood. May God give their souls rest, and may they live in our memories this weekend and always.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor has a number of other patriot posts on his Instagram, too. Back in 2019, on Veteran\u2019s Day, he paid tribute to his brother and other veterans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the greatest armed forces the world has ever seen,\u201d Pratt wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s made up of real people who joined for myriad reasons. Brave men and women who sacrifice a whole hell of a lot. Today is their day. So celebrate a veteran today. Today I celebrate Cully, as well as my cousin Curtis, Uncle Steve, Uncle Skip, second Cousins, Joey, Ryan and Alex, besties Jared and Jeffrey, all those I\u2019ve fished for hunted with, those who\u2019ve blessed me with their challenge coins as I\u2019ve encountered them on press junkets and in my travels, the many in the film industry working both in front of and behind the cameras. To those currently serving and those out thanks for your service.
