Selfless sacrifice for his buddies. No greater honor could be bestowed on this fine young man. He has earned a place in Heaven for sure.

He comes from a very good, All-American family. Military and law enforcement are well-represented in his family.

Hey Buddy,
Another one of your own is a fallen hero.
I would like to thank both you and Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor (RIP) for your service and I am proud to call you my friend.
Thanks.

I watched this live yesterday and as soon as I saw President Bush’s frown, I knew there would be a waterfall for him and I.
When the President mentioned that one of his teammates had dreams about this hero, he had wings. I was a bubbling mess at the end.

Well said. It is always curious to me how people who have never worn the uniform of our country fail to understand the answer to the question..what do the troops fight for? Yes, it is partpatriotism, God country, the flag, their kids, mom and apple pie, but in crunch time, it comes down to the guys in your unit, those on either side of you, the one who has your back, that's who you ultimately fight, and sometimes die for.
One of the things that is starting to irk me more and more is how, since the post-Vietnam era, it seems that the only way the CMH can be won is posthumously. I don't know if this is a conscious decision by the Pentagon and the DOD NOT to create living heroes, but it seems, well, weird. To make my point, just read most of the citations for the Navy Crosses awarded to living Marines in the Iraqi War, and compare them to those awarded the CMH in the last 35 years. No difference..indeed some seem especially worthy of the Big One, except that those heroes had the good fortune to survie the action.

I have had more conversations on war stuff with total strangers I've met in various places who were vets than I have ever had with my own family.
You're right, nobody can ever understand the military life unless they have been there..........

When I now talk with fellow vets we have the same understanding of the good cause of our current soldiers and the idiocy of today’s liberals.

That first link, with his photos from childhood and later, cost me many Puff’s tissues.
Thank You for posting it.

Don’t for one nanosecond even think about putting me in the same sentence with these real heros.
Thanks for the ping, but I ain’t in any way near that league.
