    Daniel Murphy, the father of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy delivers remarks to his son during a Medal of Honor Flag ceremony held at the United States Navy Memorial. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, on Oct. 22, in a ceremony held at the White House. Murphy was killed during a reconnaissance mission near Asadabad, Afghanistan, while exposing himself to enemy fire in order to call in support after his four-man team came under attack by enemy forces June 28, 2005. 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.
