Link worked fine for me.

Does anyone know if the ceremony will be broadcast live on CSPAN or another channel?

It would be nice to see it on the Military channel.

Well deserved, and I'm glad he is finally going to get the recognition he deserves. I do have one question, though.
I remember reading that his father had a "falling out" (or whatever it would be called) with Marcus Lutrell, specifically Lutrell's recolection of the way the decision was made to let the goatherders go. I hope it was resolved, as I can't see any reason why Lutrell would disort the events. I know the father has his own opinion on how his son "would" have acted in that situation, but the father wasn't there and Lutrell was. (Again, if this isn't the place, let me know and I will edit the post).
RIP Lt.

Although it was publicized slightly, I'm not going to go into specifically what their "falling out" was over, however, I will say they are on great terms again and talk all the time. There are no more hard feelings between Marcus and Mr. Murphy. They talked privately about the situation and resolved the issue.
