Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor received the Congressional Medal of Honor for Military Valor posthumously today. I wanted to extend my deepest condolences to his family and fellow SEALS, especially those brothers-in-arms whose lives he saved while sacrificing his own. Read more about this remarkable young man, including the President's moving tribute.
Fair winds and following seas. Never forgotten. **A Post Script here in 2023. It has been many years since this young man died in combat, and still, I cry every time I see his picture. We became a military family in the same year he died, and he has remained for me the figure for every young man in the SEALs lost in battle. Ever since his death, there have been too many whom I have had cause to mourn, but this one, this loss wrecks my Mother's heart every time.
