President Honours Navy Seal:
"...On Saint Michael's Day -- September 29, 2006 -- Michael Monsoor would make the ultimate sacrifice. Mike and two teammates had taken position on the outcropping of a rooftop when an insurgent grenade bounced off Mike's chest and landed on the roof. Mike had a clear chance to escape, but he realized that the other two SEALs did not. In that terrible moment, he had two options -- to save himself, or to save his friends. For Mike, this was no choice at all. He threw himself onto the grenade, and absorbed the blast with his body. One of the survivors puts it this way: "Mikey looked death in the face that day and said, 'You cannot take my brothers. I will go in their stead.'"

O Prince of peace, we humbly ask your protection for all our men and women in military service.
Give them unflinching courage to defend with honor, dignity and devotion, the rights of all who are imperiled by injustice and evil.
Be their rock, their shield, and their stronghold and let them draw their strength from you.
For you are God, for ever and ever.
Dear Lord Jesus and Mary, Mother of God,
Hold all these brave souls in the palm of your hand,
comfort them and their families.
Send angels of protection, love, and comfort to all the service men and women still at war,bring them home safely and comfort their families.
We ask all our prayers in Jesus' name.
