« Navy SEAL Mike Monsoor to Receive Medal of Honor | Weblog | "Unions' Big Colombia Lie," my NYPost piece on Colombia Free Trade Agreement » My Wkly Std tribute to Medal of Honor winner SEAL Mike MonsoorBy Michael Fumento
In fact, he was protecting me as well as his teammates. SEALs don't wear identification -- even on dress uniforms -- and I would never have learned his name if, six months later, he hadn't sacrificed all to save those same teammates. Last week I looked on as President Bush, tears glistening on his face, presented the parents of Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class (Sea, Air, and Land) Michael Monsoor our nation's highest award -- the Medal of Honor. "Mr. and Mrs. Monsoor: America owes you a debt that can never be repaid," he said. "This nation will always cherish the memory of your son." Read the rest (including photos and video of SEALs in action), by the only reporter to write about the ceremony who was in combat with Monsoor. |
