Lone Survivor - Marcus Luttrell

Earlier this week I had the honor of attending an event to hear Marcus Luttrell, fellow Texan, Navy SEAL, and author speak about his experiences that are documented in his book “Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10.”

I have never been one to seek out people to meet, talk to, listen to, gawk at, etc. This was the first book event I’ve ever attended and the first time I’ve waited in line just shake someone’s hand. I am glad I took advantage of the opportunity and honored to have traded a few words and a handshake with him. For those who say there aren’t American Heroes anymore (does anyone still say that?), I say they need to read this book and meet this man if they have the chance.
