Amazing Navy SEAL Survival Story
I just came home from out national meeting in Southern CA. The keynote speaker was a guy named Marcus Luttrell. He is a Navy SEAL ret. about 31 years old who participated in an mission called Operation RedWing in Afganistan in 2005. The link below is a shorter, less graphic version of what he talked to us about. He also has a book detailing his story call Lone Survivor. Very interesting and hardcore story, many on his team made the ultimate sacrifice. Talking with Marcus afterwards, he has a wall up 10 miles high.

The book was possibly one of the most graphic I've ever read. I went through it in 3 days because it was that good.

yes, amazing story
My Mom gave Lone Survivor to me as a birthday gift last year and I read it while backpacking the Grand Canyon. GREAT STORY by a true American hero.
