SFC Jared C. Monti

Amidst all the day-to-day madness and insanity that goes on in the world there are occasional instances of lucidity and righteousness that can easily go unnoticed. On Thursday September 17th, 2009 the Congressional Medal Of Honor will be posthumously awarded to SFC Jared C. Monti by the President Of The United States. His actions of bravery and sacrifice speak volumes as to the caliber of person he was, now to be acknowledged in the annals of our Nation's history. To have known him, if only briefly, is an honor I will carry for all my life and his story I will share with all whom I meet.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13
The Holy Bible

It's been a while since you told me the news but it still all seems so surreal. I think about Monti a lot these days and new memories always seem to pop up. Rest in peace Jared Monti.
