Michael Monsoor–A True Hero

I listen to the news; I read news magazines and websites … so why do I hear/read every nuance of every ridiculous thing a (potential!) candidate says; every result of every (ridiculous!) poll …

But, until I check in with MilitaryMotivator, I hear NOTHING of the bravery of this great man?

Medal of Honor Awarded to Michael Monsoor

Only weeks to go until his deployment ended. Having already been awarded the Silver Star for bravery I can’t even imagine (during the FIRST month of his FIRST deployment). Only 25 years old.

“‘He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was down toward it,’ said a 28-year-old lieutenant who sustained shrapnel wounds to both legs that day. ‘He undoubtedly saved mine and the other SEALs’ lives.”

“One of the SEALs he saved said that Mike’s countenance was completely calm and he showed no fear only resolve.”

Freedom is never free. Our luxurious (and often selfish!) lives are paid for by great sacrifice.

What a hero. We do not deserve the likes of you, Navy Seal Michael Monsoor. Thank you for your sacrifice. We are so sorry for the loss that your loved ones are experiencing; and we are sorry for the loss that our military and country are experiencing too.
