Last Full Measure of Devotion

**w4jchosen** · 04-08-08, 02:05 PM

I just saw this on CNN Navy Seal.

When a grenade bounced off his chest and fell to the floor near his fellow troops, Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor acted out of instinct.

His actions didn't stem from a lack of training. His instant reaction was to protect his comrades.

The Navy says he committed a selfless act -- jumping on the grenade and taking the full force of the blast.

On Tuesday, President Bush will present Monsoor's parents with a posthumous Medal of Honor for their son at a White House ceremony.

Why not just throw it back? Most noobs don't even prime their nades before they throw them

We need more news like this making papers and headlines.

We are releasing the beta version of Death Toll today. We have made a few changes based on issues we saw during internal testing. It will be interesting to see what people think of those changes. No hints on what the changes are, we want you to play with fresh eyes.
