This website was started in order to publish the news that didn’t make it into the mainstream media.  This article arrived in my email recently.  This is a story that needs to be told.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span> <\/p>\n

This is the story of Navy Petty Officer,<\/span> <\/span>PO2<\/span> <\/span>(Petty Officer, Second Class)<\/span> <\/span>EOD2<\/span> <\/span>(Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Second Class)<\/span> <\/span>“MIKE MONSOOR.”<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Monsoor,<\/span><\/p>\n

(April 5th ~ September 29th,2009)<\/span> 
<\/span>Was Awarded “The Congressional Medal Of Honor” Last Week,<\/span>
<\/span>For Giving His Life In Iraq, As He Jumped On, And Covered With His Body, A Live Hand Grenade,<\/span> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Saving The Lives Of A Large Group Of Navy Seals That Was Passing By!<\/span>
<\/span>~<\/span>
<\/span>During Mike Monsoor’s Funeral,<\/span>
<\/span>At Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery , In San Diego , California, <\/span>
<\/span>The Six Pallbearers Removed The Rosewood Casket From The Hearse,<\/span>
<\/span>And Lined Up On Each Side Of Mike Monsoor’s Casket,<\/span>
<\/span>His Family Members, Friends, Fellow Sailors, And Well-wishers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Continued From The Hearse, All The Way To The Grave Site.<\/span>
<\/span>
What The Group Didn’t Know At The Time Was,<\/span>
Every Navy Seal<\/span>
(45 To Be Exact)<\/span>
That Mike Monsoor Saved That Day Was Scattered Through-Out The Column!<\/span>
<\/span>~<\/span>
<\/span>As The Pallbearers Carried The Rosewood Casket<\/span>
<\/span>Down The Column Of People To The Grave Side.<\/span>
<\/span>The Column Would Collapse..<\/span> 
<\/span>And Form A Group Of People That Followed Behind.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Every Time The Rosewood Casket Passed A Navy Seal,<\/span>
<\/span>He Would Remove His Gold Trident Pin From His Uniform,<\/span>
<\/span>And Slap It Down Hard,<\/span>
<\/span>Causing The Gold Trident Pin To Embed Itself<\/span>
<\/span>Into The Top Of The Wooden Casket!<\/span>
<\/span>Then The Navy Seal Would Step Back From The Column, And Salute!<\/span>
<\/span>~<\/span>
<\/span>Now For Those,<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Who Don’t Know What A Trident Pin Is,<\/span>
<\/span>Here Is The Definition!<\/span> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

~<\/span>
<\/span>After One Completes The Basic Navy Seals Program Which Lasts For Three Weeks,<\/span>
<\/span>And Is Followed By Seal Qualification Training,<\/span>
<\/span>Which Is 15 More Weeks Of Training,<\/span>
<\/span>Necessary To Continue Improving Basic Skills
And To Learn New Tactics And Techniques,<\/span>
<\/span>Required For An Assignment To A Navy Seal Platoon.<\/span>
<\/span>After successful completion,<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Trainees Are Given Their Naval Enlisted Code,<\/span>
<\/span>And Are Awarded The Navy Seal Trident Pin.<\/span>
<\/span>With This Gold Pin They Are Now Officially Navy Seals!<\/span>
<\/span>It Was Said,<\/span>
<\/span>That You
Could Hear Each Of The 45 Slaps From Across The Cemetery!<\/span>
<\/span>By The Time The Rosewood Casket Reached The Grave Site,<\/span>
<\/span>It Looked As Though It Had A Gold Inlay From The 45 Trident Pins That Lined The Top!<\/span> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This Was A Fitting End To An Eternal Send-Off For A Warrior Hero!<\/span><\/p>\n
