I just caught the tail end of the award ceremony of President Bush awarding the Medal of Honor to Petty Officer Michael Monsoor. The President had a difficult time maintaining his composure. So did I.
I just can’t imagine how his parents deal with this except to know the great honor that Michael Monsoor brought upon himself. He died to save his comrades. He showed extraordinary bravery and love for others. There are no words that adequately express the gratitude I have that we have young men like this in our country and the sadness I feel that they are so soon taken from us.
There are some gripping moments so be prepared to get teary eyed.

Thank you for posting the video.
The son of one of my friends was able to leave Iraq a few weeks early to attend the ceremony (he’s a SEAL who was friends with Monsoor).
Monsoor was so well loved and respected…
