Medal of Honor
October 29 2008 Medal of Honor
 
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 Sa n Diego, as his coffin was being moved from the hearse to the grave 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 blogging this. I am damn 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.

I also have a photo in my pics of the Trident pinned coffin.

SALUTE!!!!!!!!!

Why something of this great gratitude is NOT put in the headlines nation wide is shameful. I served in OIF2 and to have the public just overlook something like this is not patriotic. Godspeed Mike Monsoor! A true hero!!!!
