Catholic Military Life

In Ar Ramadi, Iraq, on Sept. 29, 2006, the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, U.S. Navy Seal Michael Monsoor, MA2, USN, whose parents had named him after the patron saint of soldiers, made the ultimate sacrifice, throwing himself onto a live grenade and suffering fatal injuries to save the lives of fellow SEALS. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Mrs. Rose Rea shares the story behind a new biography that she collaborated on with Michael's father. She is joined in this edition by Steve Gilmore, CAPT, USN (Ret.).
