Navy Petty Officer Mike Monsoor
PO2 (EOD2) (Explosive Ordnance
Disposal)
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.
(Notice: Mike was not a Navy SEAL, he was EOD.
He gave his life to save a
group of Navy SEALS.)
During Mike Monsoor's
funeral in San Diego ,
as his coffin was being moved
from the hearse
to the grave site at Ft. Rosecrans National
Cemetery , SEAL's
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 every day..
Since the media won't make
this news,
I choose to make it news by
forwarding it .
I am very 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.
God Bless our Troops
