Daniel Murphy touches a plaque dedicated to his son, U.S. Navy Lt. Michael P. Murphy. Murphy, his wife, along with Lt. Murphy's mother, Maureen, left, and his brother John, right, were the special guests of honor at the dedication ceremony of the new Lt. Michael Murphy Combat Training Pool at Officer Training Command Newport. Also attending the dedication and unveiling was Rear Adm. Garry Bonelli, deputy commander, Naval Special Warfare Command, far right, and Rear Adm. Mark Boensel, commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, left. The pool will be used by officer candidates and students at Officer Training Command Newport for swim qualifications. Murphy, a Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient, was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. Murphy was awarded the nation's highest military honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty for trying to call for help from an exposed location for his wounded four-man team against superior odds of between 30 to 40 enemy fighters.
