SOCOM 4 Beta Keys. Want Some!? Get Some!!

WASHINGTON (NNS) — A Navy SEAL who sacrificed himself to save his teammates during combat operations in Iraq will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President George W. Bush the White House announced March 31. The parents of Master-At-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael A. Monsoor will accept the nation’s highest military honor on behalf of their son during a White House ceremony April 8. The medal is awarded for ‘conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty’ by a member of the U.S. Armed Forces during combat against an enemy.

“I was happy to hear Mike will get the Medal of Honor,” said Special Warfare Operator 1st Class (SEAL) Tom DeShazo, who worked closely with Monsoor during the mission. “It is not something he would ever seek out or expect; but his clear decision to sacrifice his own life to save his teammates is worthy of this honor.” Monsoor, a 25 year-old machine gunner with SEAL Team 3, was providing security at a sniper lookout post on Sept. 29, 2006 in Ramadi when a grenade hit his chest and bounced to the floor. With only a moment to act, Monsoor threw himself onto the grenade, shielding three other SEALs and three Iraqi Army soldiers from the resulting blast.

Monsoor is the first Navy SEAL to earn the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq and the second Navy SEAL to receive the award since Sept. 11, 2001.
