True To Form

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com “Grenade!” Monsoor shouted. But the two snipers and another SEAL on the roof had no time to escape, as Monsoor was closest to the only exit. Monsoor dropped onto the grenade, smothering it with his body. It detonated, and Monsoor died about 30 minutes later from his wounds. Monsoor joins Army Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith and Marine Corporal Jason Dunham in receiving the Medal of Honor posthumously for their service in Iraq, as well as Navy SEAL Michael P. Murphy who received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his service in Afghanistan. May their sacrifices be redeemed. Via Noah Pollak, who notes that, "[t]rue to form, the New York Times could not be bothered today to mention the awarding of our nation’s highest honor."
