The Cost of Freedom - The Blood of Heroic Patriots!

"On September 29, 2006, Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor was part of a major clearing and isolating operation to root out enemy fighters holding parts of Ramadi, the Sunni insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad.

Monsoor was in a sniper position on a rooftop along with two other SEALs when a grenade flew into his location from out of nowhere. It bounced off his chest and landed in an area where it probably would have killed or seriously wounded all three of them.

Monsoor was in a position to escape before the explosion but instead leapt on the grenade.

"He recognized immediately the threat, yelled 'grenade' and due to the fact that two other SEAL snipers, our brothers, could not possibly escape the blast, he chose to smother it with his body, absorbed the impact and lost his life in the process," said Lt. Cmdr. Seth Stone, Mansoor's platoon commander.

The blast did not kill him right away; he hung on for 30 minutes. His two comrades were wounded but survived the shrapnel that ripped through their bodies.

Stone said: "He essentially saved [the] Navy SEALS on the rooftop and three Iraqi soldiers who were there."

President Bush presented Monsoor's parents with a posthumous Medal of Honor for their son at an emotional White House ceremony last Tuesday." CNN

To Whom do you serve?

"Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters,
and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.
For many live, about whom I have often told you, and now, with tears,
I tell you that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
Their end is destruction, their god is the belly,
they exult in their shame, and they think about earthly things.
But our citizenship is in heaven
and we also await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body
by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself."
~ Phil 3.17-21 (NET)

"I relied completely on the Lord, and he turned toward me and heard my cry for help.
He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud.
He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.
He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God.
May many see what God has done,
so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord!
How blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and does not seek help from the proud or from liars!
~ Ps 40:1-4 (NET)
