HERO - Navy SEAL paid ultimate price to save buddies

When a grenade bounced off his chest and fell to the floor near his fellow troops, Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor acted out of instinct.

The Navy says he committed a selfless act -- jumping on the grenade and taking the full force of the blast.

On Tuesday, President Bush will present Monsoor's parents with a posthumous Medal of Honor for their son at a White House ceremony.
