ARLINGTON, Va. (Oct. 21, 2007) A member of the Navy Ceremonial Guard escorts Daniel and Maureen Murphy, the parents of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, through Arlington National Cemetery. Daniel and Maureen Murphy visited the cemetery to honor the service members killed by the same enemy forces as their son, and to pay their respects at the Tomb of the Unknowns. President George W. Bush will present the Medal of Honor to Murphys parents at the White House on Oct. 22, 2007. Lt. 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. 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.
