WNYC | Jun 17, 2014

When he was in San Diego last week, Here & Now’s Alex Ashlock visited the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. He spent some time at the grave of Navy Seal Michael Monsoor, who was killed in the war in Iraq in 2006. Ashlock says Monsoor’s story is worth remembering as violence erupts again in Iraq.
