Master Sgt. Donovan Petty, a critical skills operator with 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, addressed the audience after receiving the Silver Star Medal following his award ceremony at U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command headquarters. Petty's team was engaged by insurgent personnel in Afghanistan when his actions led to the successful capture of a key insurgent leader. "This award isn't about me; it's about my team and their collective actions on that day. They should be receiving an award, not me," said Petty. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Ryan A. Young)
