From the Washington Post:

The East Room ceremony honoring Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor was emotional. Bush wiped tears from his eyes and put his arm around Monsoor’s family as the Seal’s death was recounted — he threw himself onto a grenade to save two fellow Seals. "We see his legacy in the city of Ramadi," Bush said, "which has gone from one of the most dangerous places in Iraq to one of the most safest."
