God bless all our forces around the world past and present. It takes special people to give everything for these great United States of America, and to their brothers in arms. We are blessed to have such people.May god grant them peace and mercy in the afterlife.

I love the SEALs. Bless him and his sacrifice, and for all the awesome work these guys have been doing. They don't get as much attention and respect as the other elite forces do, but to me they are the best.
To: jmc1969
I heard about him on Mark Levin's radio show tonight. What a hero this SEAL is. My heart immediately wonders about his family; and I offer my prayers for them.
To: radar101
Heartbreaking. We can never repay their pain and sacrifices. Rest in peace, brave Michael. May you sail on Heavenly seas through eternity. Tears and prayers for his family and friends.

I wonder how come nobody is getting Medal of Honors this war. I guess since all the Vietnam people received them they are being stingy. sarc. I was kidding on that, but serious about the lack of Medal of Honors in this war. This SEAL clearly should have received one. Do we need to write to congress or something?

God bless him and his family. We'll keep them in our prayers.

I'm going to write a letter to the only man (representing WI) I know of who will care about this in WI, and that's my congressman, Jim Sensenbrenner.
It will be important to him that he knows this. He's the only rational voice of reason we have left in WI.

Related, interesting story: On March 12, 1953, Duane Dewey stood at attention in the Oval Office in front of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Looking on were his parents, his sister, his wife, Bertha, and two of his company officers. After the citation was read, the president approached the twenty-one-year-old hero with the nations highest military award in his hand. This was the first Medal of Honor given by Eisenhower and after fussing with it for a while he finally gave up, saying Ive got the ribbon twisted, but your wife can take care of that later. Displaying that famous Eisenhower grin, the president looked at the young marine with admiration and commented, You must have a body of steel.
Then, leaning closer, he added, It [the grenade] had to be one of theirs. If it had been one of ours, it would have blown you to pieces. The president made such a favorable impression on the young couple that when their son was born two months later they named him Dwight, Ike for short.

You're right, this man is a hero in the original meaning of the word.
