A beautiful tribute to one of the many young men who have given their lives for our country. There was no obstacle which Michael Mansoor would allow to come between himself and his dreams. He overcame the odds to fulfill his dream of becoming a Navy seal. Through the voice of Michael's father, we learn many wonderful characteristics of his son, who was KIA, Michael Mansoor.

This is the story of the life of Michael Monsoor, who gave his life on September 25th, 2006, when he was KIA. This story talks about his struggles with asthma and standing up to bullies. It is also a story of perseverance because he failed BUDS training once already and then passed and excelled. It is very touching because he stayed overseas to allow another SEAL to go home for the birth of their child. During this extension is when Michael gave his life to protect his teammates. He has received numerous accommodations, including the medal of Honor, silver Star, kids named after him, and even a ship! I really enjoyed the story. This was a 4 and 1/2 star read for me.
