The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday

Watching the SEALs do what they do is a source of great motivation for me to overcome hurdles and endure any challenge. They're subjected to such grueling tests and come out on the other side successful. They get the toughest assignments and they carry them out under intense circumstances and with professionalism. Quitting is not in their vocabulary and it is not something they're familiar with. You figure it out and push on no matter what.

Marcus Luttrell's story is a profile in courage, sacrifice, and service. He wrote his first book, Lone Survivor, about his combat service in his Afghanistan and the harrowing story about his rescue when his unit got into some trouble. He was awarded the Navy Cross and returned to Iraq after he recuperated from his wounds. He served for a few months in the Al Anbar Province before he injured himself again and had to come back home for good.
