    Daniel and Maureen Murphy, the parents of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, unveil a photo of their son during a ceremony held at the Hall of Heroes inside the Pentagon. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor yesterday 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 28th, 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.
