    George Monsoor comforts his wife, Sally Monsoor, as she holds the Medal of Honor flag presented to her Wednesday, April 9, in honor of her son during a ceremony at the Navy Memorial in Washington. Master at Arms 2nd Class (Seal) Michael A. Monsoor has been posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for diving onto a grenade to save his teammates in Ar Ramadi, Iraq on Sept. 29, 2006. Monsoor also received the Silver Star for his actions in May during the same deployment in 2006 when he exposed himself to heavy enemy fire to rescue and treat an injured teammate.
