About Marcus Luttrell:

Marcus Luttrell is a retired United States Navy SEAL, who received the Navy Cross and Purple Heartfor his actions in June 2005 facing Taliban fighters during Operation Red Wings.

Following his physical recovery from Operation Redwing, Marcus went back and completed one more tour before being medically retired. He then wrote the book, Lone Survivor : The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 , to share the amazing story of his brothers who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The book became a New York Times Bestseller.

In 2010 Marcus also started the Lone Survivor Foundation and is fully involved with Campaign. In 2012, Luttrell released a second book, Service, that follows up with unanswered questions from Lone Survivor and gives honor and praise to other members of the military. In the summer of 2013, Marcus went on his first public speaking Patriot Tour.

In early 2014, a major motion picture directed by Peter Berg, and starring Mark Wahlberg was released depicting the story of Lone Survivor.
