A Fitting Tribute to a Slain Navy SEAL Gains Attention

. . as Monsoor's coffin was taken from the hearse to the gravesite, Navy SEALs lined up in two columns. As the coffin passed, video shows each SEAL slapping down the gold Trident from his uniform and deeply embedding it in Monsoor's wooden coffin.

The slaps were reportedly heard across the cemetery.

The echoes of these slaps are being heard across our nation as patriots give honor to this fallen hero. God bless Michael Monsoor. God bless his family and friends. God bless the Navy SEALs. God bless all the troops who guard our freedom. God bless America.
