Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor, a Navy SEAL, smothered a grenade with his body in 2006 in Iraq to save two teammates. His parents, George and Sally Monsoor, sat in the front row at the ceremony, accepting hugs and private words from the heads of the Marine Corps, the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and the training squadron.

Lt. Michael Murphy, also a Navy SEAL, moved into an exposed position to call for help for his wounded teammates and then fought to his death in 2005 in Afghanistan.
