An email that was sent to me !

PO2 (EOD2) 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.
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, SEALs 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.
The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by
the time the coffin arrived grave side, it looked as
though it had a gold inlay from all the Tridents
pinned to it. This was a fitting send-off for
a warrior hero.
This should be front-page news instead of the crap
we see everyday.
Since the media wont make this news, I choose to
make it news by forwarding it onto you guys. I am
damn proud of our military. If you are proud too,
please pass this on. If not then rest assured
that these fine men and women of our military will
continue to serve and protect.
