Navy Petty Officer Mike Monsoor

 

 

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.

 

(Note: Mike was not a Navy SEAL, he was EOD.

He gave his life to save a group of Navy 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.

That my friends is patriotism, loyalty and looking out for your brother and your country selfishly.

 

If our politicians were 1/10th the patriot, we would be infinitely better off.

God Bless our Servicemen and women and the memory of Mike Monsoor.

God Bless this man... But until very recently wasn't it against policy to take pictures at funerals???

I think out of respect for the families the press was not allowed to photograph the caskets. Perhaps this photograph was taken by a friend or family member?

 

Or perhaps the press was just not allowed to publish photographs without the families permission and they got permission in this case?
