Description: Caption provided by USN: 080507-N-4245W-125 PATCHOQUE, N.Y. (May 7, 2008) John and Maureen Murphy, parents of Lt. Michael P. Murphy, listen to a benediction prayer during a ceremony outside the Michael P. Murphy Post Office. The ceremony, held on Murphy's birthday, recognized his heroic actions during Operation Red Wing, and included the unveiling of a Purple Heart monument outside the post office. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan and will have the guided-missile destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) named in his honor. (Note: A USN biography states the Murphy's brother is named John while his father's name is Daniel indicating that the Navy may have miscaptioned this image.[1]}
