Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL from Patchogue who died in Afghanistan after risking his life to save his colleagues during a 2005 battle, is being considered for the nation's highest combat award -- the Medal of Honor.

If he is granted the award, Murphy would become only the third person to earn that highest honor since President George W. Bush sent troops to Afghanistan in 2001 and later to Iraq. Often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor, the award is presented by the president.
