Marcus Luttrell (Lone Survivor)

[Cylinder Head]

Marcus spoke at a company function today and all 450 of us in the room were completely blown away. The guy's story is incredible (many of us have read the book) but in person... Words just can't describe his presence. He had his new pup with him the entire time who was walking around the auditorium and eventually settled at my feet for a nap. There was no a single blackberry, iPhone, or iPad in use through the entire talk. You could hear a mouse piss on cotton when he paused. Great speaker and great story.

I introduced myself to him as he was leaving and he didn't say a word, just offered a handshake and nodded. Has anyone ever encountered the guy?

Damn. Would have loved to heard him speak. Very cool.

I don't know that name. What was he the only survivor of?

Apparently, he survived a book -

Good book, well worth reading.

Dang, just reading the summary from the Amazon site it sounds like it would be a heck of a book.

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Can't wait to read this. Chris Kyle recommended ML's book in his.

That was an awesome book he wrote. It is definately worth reading again.

I've read this book a couple of times. Really good. One of the SEALs lost in the story is Danny Dietz of Littleton, Colorado.

Read his book Service too. Not a bad read as well

[Rooskibar03]

He actually has two books.
