Michael Jerome McMahon

West Point, 1985

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Murphey on December 7, 2004:

Mike was the consumate leader. He respected his subordinates in a way that inspired us to excel for fear of disappointing him. His style embodied Schofield's Definition of Disipline. He would rather get a good Hooyah! and lift your spirits than 'keep you in your place'.

Twenty years after H3 went from Hampsters to Hurricanes Mike and his trademark Hooyah! cross my mind often. I will continue to keep him in my thoughts.

Hooyah, Sir!
Bill Murphey
H3, 1988
