Michael Monsoor was raised in California and was the son a Marine. Living with asthma at a young age, he didn't have much of a future in the military. However, he overcame those odds, played for his high school football team and in 2001, he enlisted in the US Navy. In 2006, Monsoor's SEAL team deployed to Iraq, where he trained Iraqi Army soldiers and took the fight to the insurgents. After receiving both the Silver and Bronze stars, he returned to Iraq with his platoon. While on a rooftop in Iraq with fellow SEALs, Monsoor's actions would put his name in the history books.
