Lieutenant '''Michael P. Murphy''' was the most recent soldier to be awarded the [[Medal of Honor]] in the [[United States Military]].<ref>http://www.navy.mil/moh/mpmurphy/index.html</ref> On June 28, 2005, during [[Operation Enduring Freedom]], Murphy and three other [[Navy]] [[SEALs]] were pinned down by a group of around 50 [[Taliban]] militants near the [[Pakistani]] border. With each of the men wounded, they retreated into cover on a rocky mountainside. Unable to send a distress call from their isolated position, Murphy left the safety of the position to obtain a signal, willingly exposing himself to enemy fire. After making contact, Murphy was hit in the back by enemy fire, but continued to transmit his unit's location.
