Donovan Petty, a critical skills operator with 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, with the Silver Star Medal following at the MARSOC headquarters, May 12, 2014. Petty's team was engaged by insurgent personnel in Afghanistan when his actions led to the successful capture of a key insurgent leader. "This award isn't about me; it's about my team and their collective actions on that day. They should be receiving an award, not me," said Petty. ( Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. R
