What rudderless millennials could learn from Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor -- who gave his life for others

SAN DIEGO (Jan. 26, 2019) Former members of SEAL Team 3 join the ship's crew to bring the Navy's newest Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyer, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), to life during its commissioning ceremony. Michael Monsoor is the second Zumwalt destroyer ship to enter the fleet. It is the first Navy combat ship named for fallen Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael Monsoor, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions while serving in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006.

On Saturday, the U.S. Navy commissioned the USS Michael Monsoor, a Zumwalt-class destroyer and the most technologically advanced ship in our nation’s fleet. The sublime vessel offers a fitting tribute to its namesake, the late Navy SEAL who gave his life to protect teammates and Iraqi soldiers during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2006.

The ship’s crest depicts a sword held in the winged hand and arm of St. Michael the Archangel, patron of warriors, after whom the devoutly Catholic Michael Monsoor was named. The ship’s motto reads, “I will defend.”

I'm surprised The Navy would do this, in today's politically-correct environment.

But hats off to 'em for doing so!
