While the story is a week old, it is also timeless. Navy Seal, Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor jumped on a grenade and saved the other three members of his four-man team. He died as a result of the wounds.

The selflessness of this act is almost beyond belief and the courage required is almost unimaginable, at least to me. This was not a movie, it was not theoretical - it was real. Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor made a conscious decision to trade his life for that of three fellow Navy Seals. I believe it represents the very best of America and of our fighting men and women. My thanks to Michael Monsoor and my prayers to his family. We need more men and women like Michael Monsoor and less opportunities for them to be tested.
