It is hard to watch the videos of how our heroes gave the ultimate price, for they choose not the safety of there own, but to protect there brothers from harms way.
Not to be selfish but to give and sacrifice there own life so that there brothers can eventually make it safely home. Mike Monsoor will always be remembered, for he did not fail us and we will never fail him. God Speed Mike we will never forget the sacrifice that you made.
