Today, President Bush awarded the Medal of Honor to Lt. Michael Murphy, a Navy SEAL who died in combat in Afghanistan in June 2005. An excellent account of the battle that led to his death is described in the book Lone Survivor, by fellow SEAL Marcus Luttrell. Here is the U.S. Navy's official biography of Lt. Murphy:

This is an excellent snapshot. However, he is worth much more than a snapshot. Please take the time to read Lone Survivor. Don't forget what this man did for you.
