NAVY SEAL to receive Medal of Honor

From HotAir.com:



Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor

The name may not ring a bell but if you’re a blog reader you’ve heard of him. So valorous were his actions that even a media not inclined to celebrate the heroism of U.S. troops noticed his death when it happened. What kind of man are we talking about here? He won the Silver Star for pulling a comrade to safety in May 2006; four months later he was on a roof in Ramadi with three other SEALs when an insurgent tossed a grenade up. It bounced off his chest and dropped to the floor in front of them. “He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was down toward it,” said one of the three. His family will be at the White House on April 8 to receive the recognition due.

Rest in peace, hero!!! And thank you for defending our freedoms.

Long overdue, but better late than never, I suppose...
