My Wkly Std tribute to Medal of Honor winner SEAL Mike Monsoor
By Michael Fumento
Spring 2006: The Mullab section of Ramadi, Iraq. Graffiti boast that this is “the graveyard of the Americans.” Leaving your base camp virtually guarantees a fight, and I’m in one the first day of my embed. When shots ring out, I jump into the street to start snapping pictures. I look back and see a tall Navy SEAL seemingly pointing his 7.62 millimeter MK48 machine gun right at me.
In fact, he was protecting me as well as his teammates. SEALs don’t wear identification — even on dress uniforms — and I would never have learned his name if, six months later, he hadn’t sacrificed all to save those same teammates.
Last week I looked on as President Bush, tears glistening on his face, presented the parents of Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class (Sea, Air, and Land) Michael Monsoor our nation’s highest award — the Medal of Honor. “Mr. and Mrs. Monsoor: America owes you a debt that can never be repaid,” he said. “This nation will always cherish the memory of your son.”

If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
God bless all these men and women who put their lives on the line for a noble cause greater than themselves. God Bless Mikey and his comrades.

And then all the premium DNA that will never be reproduced …
I just don’t know how this planet’s civilization will survive.
