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.

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
war 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 onto you guys. 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.
