Michael Murphy, prior to the Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House. Lt.

Murphy is the first service member to receive the honor for actions during Operation Enduring Freedom and the first Navy recipient of the medal since Vietnam. Daniel and Maureen Murphy accepted the posthumous award on behalf of their son.
