Never saw this in the newspaper or on the news, but it is the same here and in other countries with a British heritage, where heroism by our forces passes unnoticed by the common herd. Most of these people wouldn't recognise heroism if they tripped over it. They regard some overpaid, poncing soccer player as a hero because he scored a goal. He's paid to do that and what the ****** is heroic about that?
Publishing such a story about real heroism and self-sacrifice might offend somebody.
I say that if this offends somebody, then that somebody needs offending.
This needs to be sent around the world!!!!!

"MIKE
MONSOOR"
April
5th, 1981 ~ September 29th,
2006
Mike
Monsoor,
Was
Awarded "The Congressional Medal Of Honor" Last Week,
For
Giving His Life In Iraq , As He Jumped On,
And Covered With His Body, A Live Hand
Grenade,
That
Was Accidentally Dropped By A Navy Seal,
Saving
The Lives Of A Large Group Of Navy Seals That Was
Passing By!
~
During
Mike Monsoor's Funeral,
At
Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery , In San Diego , California ...
The
Six Pallbearers Removed The Rosewood Casket From
The Hearse,
And
Lined Up On Each Side Of Mike
Monsoor's Casket,
Were
His Family Members, Friends, Fellow Sailors, And
Well-wishers.
The
Column Of People Continued From The Hearse, All The
Way To The Grave Site.
What
The Group Didn't Know At The Time Was,
Every
Navy Seal
(45
To Be Exact)
That
Mike Monsoor Saved That Day Was Scattered Throughout
The Column!
~
As
The Pallbearers Carried The Rosewood Casket
Down
The Column Of People To The Grave Side.
The
Column Would Collapse.
Which
Formed A Group Of People That Followed Behind.
~
Every
Time The Rosewood Casket Passed A Navy Seal,
He
Would Remove His Gold Trident Pin From His Uniform,
And
Slap It Down Hard,
Causing
The Gold Trident Pin To Embed Itself
Into
The Top Of The Wooden Casket!
Then
The Navy Seal Would Step Back From The Column, And Salute!
~
Now
For Those,
(And Me)
Who
Doesn't Know What A Trident Pin Is or What It Looks Like?
Here Is The Definition And Photo!
~
After
One Completes The Basic Navy Seals Program Which Lasts
For Three Weeks,
And
Is Followed By Seal Qualification Training,
Which
Is 15 More Weeks Of Training,
Necessary
To Continue Improving Basic Skills And To Learn New
Tactics And Techniques,
Required
For An Assignment To A Navy Seal Platoon.
After successful completion,
Trainees
Are Given Their Naval Enlisted Code,
And
Are Awarded The Navy Seal Trident Pin.
With
This Gold Pin They Are Now Officially Navy Seals!
It
Was Said,
That
You Could Hear Each Of The 45 Slaps From Across The Cemetery!
By
The Time The Rosewood Casket Reached The Grave Site,
It
Looked As Though It Had A Gold Inlay >From The 45
Trident Pins That Lined The Top!
This
Was A Fitting End To An Eternal Send-Off For A Warrior
Hero!
This
Should Be Front-Page News!
Instead
Of The Garbage We Listen To And See Every
Day.
~
Here's
A Good Idea!

The Main Stream Media Won't Make This News.
Then
We Choose To Make It News By Forwarding It..
