He died a Seal, and a American Hero on this day, 29 September 2006. Michael Anthony Monsoor was a United States Navy SEAL who was killed during the Iraq War and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. He was assigned to Delta Platoon, SEAL Team Three. An insurgent threw a grenade onto a rooftop where Monsoor and several other SEAL and Iraqi soldiers were positioned. Monsoor quickly smothered the grenade with his body, absorbing the resulting explosion and saving his comrades from serious injury or death. Monsoor died about 30 minutes later from serious wounds caused by the grenade explosion. He did not think about himself, he thought about others. He know what would happen, and it did it to protect his fellow seals. Now, to me that is what America is. God bless you Michael. He was 25 years old.
