Michael Monsoor - Hero











This is one thing I agree with the administration about. We don't talk about this enough.

A Navy SEAL sacrificed his life to save his comrades by throwing himself on top of a grenade Iraqi insurgents tossed into their sniper hideout, fellow members of the elite force said......

Prior to his death, Monsoor had already demonstrated courage under fire. He has been posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions May 9 in Ramadi, when he and another SEAL pulled a team member shot in the leg to safety while bullets pinged off the ground around them.

  • Sooo very sad...too bad he couldn't have retrieved it and tossed it away in time. He deserved better...a true hero. Dub has turned many into the "hero" memory for families...while fiddling the Constitution away. There ought to be a LAW against what he's done.
