    Default SEAL Mike Monsoors (MOH) Funeral

    You have probably all heard about PO2 Mike Monsoor who recived the MOH posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow SEALS.

    Durying his funeral in San Diego as his coffin was being removed from the hearse SEALS were lined up on both sides of the pallbears route forming a column of two's, with the coffin moving up the center.

    As Mike's coffin passed each SEAL, having already removed his Gold Trident from his uniform, slapped down embedding the Trident in the wooden coffin. The slaps were audible from across the cemetary; by the time the coffin arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay from all the Tridents pinned to it.

    A fitting send-off for a warrior hero.

    Light engineers must be proficient in marksmanship, demolitions, light infantry skills, and field-expedient engineering. Because of the austere conditions in which they operate, light engineers must have knowledge of all weapons in their unit, an intimate understanding of the weapons systems of the forces they support, and a working knowledge of the enemies' weapons. The close combat skills of light engineers must be unequaled. They must hold total confidence in their abilities to apply these skills and tools.
