Tribute to a hero

A friend whose son is considering military service sent me this link. I had seen it before, but I think it’s worth posting again. You may think, mistakenly, that the Iraq war was a wasted effort or wrongheaded, but you cannot deny the valor and courage of our troops, nor the selfless way so many of them volunteered to protect our nation.

    On March 31, 2008, the United States Department of Defense confirmed that Michael Monsoor would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor from the President of the United States, George W. Bush. Bush presented the medal to Monsoor’s parents on April 8, 2008. In October 2008, United States Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter announced that DDG-1001, the second ship in the Zumwalt class of destroyers, would be named Michael Monsoor in honor of Monsoor.
