NAVY SEAL HONORED POSTHUMOUSLY

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

PO2 (EOD2) Mike Monsoor,a Navy EOD Technician, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow Seals.

During Mike Monsoor's funeral in San Diego, as his coffin was being moved from the hearse to the gr ave site at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery, SEALs were lined up on both sides of the pallbearers route forming a column of two's, with the coffin moving up the center. As Mike's coffin passed, each SEAL, having removed his gold Trident from his uniform, slapped it down embedding the Trident in the wooden coffin.

The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by the time the coffin arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay from all the Tridents pinned to it. This was a fitting send-off for a warrior hero.

This should be front-page news instead of the crap we see everyday.

Since the media won't make this news, I choose to make it news by forwarding it onto you guys. I am darn proud of our military. If you are proud too, please pass this on. If not, then rest assured that these fine men and women of our military will continue to serve and protect.

This is fantastic news and absolutely deserved by this fine warrior.

Being in the military myself, it gives me hope that this great nation, in a time of protest and liberal anti-americanism, is still willing to acknowledge the sacrifice of its warriors.

Thank you for your sacrifice PO2 (EOD2) Mike Monsoor.

We need to support our troops even more, when scumbags on wallstreet make a hundred times more then our grunts in the field, theres something wrong with that
