A US Navy SEAL will be required to do what Special Operations Warfare specialists from all branches of military service, just don't do - step out of the shadows and into the light, again, something that just isn't done. However, he has no choice. He is required to do so because President Obama will be presenting him with the Medal of Honor for actions he took on December 8, 2012 in Afghanistan.
