"From the MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION
2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw while he remained forward to give fire directions to the artillery. Murphy climbed on a burning tank destroyer, using its .50 caliber machinegun. Alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, he caused their infantry attack to waver. He received a leg wound, but continued until his ammunition was exhausted. Refusing medical attention, he led his company in a counterattack that forced the Germans to withdraw.

#NMUSPublicBroadcastingServicePBS "The U.S. government is offering military funeral honors for Ashli Babbitt, the rioter who was killed at 35 by an officer in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Babbitt was a U.S. Air Force veteran from California who was shot dead wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders while attempting to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol.
Offering military honors to one of the Capitol rioters is part of President Donald Trump's attempts to rewrite that chapter after the 2020 election as a patriotic stand, given he still denies he lost that election. Babbitt has gained martyr status among Republicans, and the Trump administration agreed to pay just under $5 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit that her family filed over her shooting."
