Element snipers thwarted the enemy's initial attempt by eliminating two insurgents. The enemy continued to assault the element, engaging them with a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire. As enemy activity increased, Petty Officer Monsoor took position with his machine gun between two teammates on an outcropping of the roof. <br/><br/>While the SEALs vigilantly watched for enemy activity, an insurgent threw a hand grenade from an unseen location, which bounced off Petty Officer Monsoor's chest and landed in front of him. Although only he could have escaped the blast, Petty Officer Monsoor chose instead to protect his teammates. Instantly and without regard for his own safety, he threw himself onto the grenade to absorb the force of the explosion with his body, saving the lives of his two teammates. <br/><br/>By his undaunted courage, fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of certain death, Petty Officer Monsoor gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Army dumps it, you clean it up]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/40936/1/" /><id>40936</id><summary><![CDATA[Army dumps it, you clean it up]]></summary><issued>2007-11-07T11:14:30+01:00</issued><modified>2007-11-07T11:14:30+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The Army Corps of Engineers, which accidentally dumped sand filled with old military ordnance on Surf City's beach, now wants the town to help pay to remove it.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[ABC News Investigation Finds Out The Truth About Army Recruiters]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/5251/1/" /><id>5251</id><summary><![CDATA[ABC News Investigation Finds Out The Truth About Army Recruiters]]></summary><issued>2006-11-06T10:07:39+01:00</issued><modified>2006-11-06T10:07:39+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The recruiters told the undercover students that noone is going to Iraq anymore and that the war is over!]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Camouflaged Fridge Chills, Hides Beer at the Office]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35761/1/" /><id>35761</id><summary><![CDATA[Camouflaged Fridge Chills, Hides Beer at the Office]]></summary><issued>2007-09-15T10:24:03+01:00</issued><modified>2007-09-15T10:24:03+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Yes, fridges can hold any bottles and cans, but if you find one camouflaged as a photocopy paper box in the office supply room, you know that it can only hold one thing: beer.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[The 25 Least Inspiring Military Operation Names]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/politics/l/59865/1/" /><id>59865</id><summary><![CDATA[The 25 Least Inspiring Military Operation Names]]></summary><issued>2008-04-28T05:49:42+01:00</issued><modified>2008-04-28T05:49:42+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Operation Beastmaster?
