>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 San 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 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.
