In May, his heroism under fire saved a wounded soldier and earned him the Silver Star. Just four months later, he would be tested again as he stood near a rooftop door in Ramadi, just west of Baghdad. A grenade tossed by an Iraqi insurgent hit him in the chest and bounced to the floor. Without hesitation, Michael jumped on top of the grenade to shield his fellow SEALs. The lieutenant in charge of the detail said this of Michael, “He never even took his eye off the grenade. His only movement was down toward it. He saved mine and the other SEALs’ lives, and we owe him.” At the age of 25, Michael Monsoor went to meet His Lord, but left behind four grateful families and a legacy of love.

Thank you for posting this story. It just goes to show that this will be the land of the free as long as it is the home of the brave.
RIP, CPO Monsoor.
And it is amazing that an American with Arab ancestry would earn the Silver Star as well as the CMoH.

God bless you Monsoor, this is one american who thanks you for your service and sacrifice. It was not, and will not be in vain.
