I recently finished Dick Couch's book regarding this particular mission, The Sheriff of Ramadiha.  Its a glorious story, I highly recommend it, if not for your own knowledge but to preserve the memories of the units involved.

Picture info:

Photo of Navy SEALs, including Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor (faced unblurred), who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for falling on a grenade and saving the lives of his comrades. Monsoor was part of a SEAL sniper unit that was operating in Ramadi. When an insurgent hurled a grenade onto the SEAL's rooftop postion, Monsoor dived on it, absorbing the blast, saving his fellow SEALs, an act that cost him his life.
