Yes sir, an excellent book. I read it a few months ago.

I just saw Marcus interviewed on The Today show yesterday morning. He was with the family of the Navy Seal who is going to receive the Medal of Honor. I think his name is Michael Murphy, from Long Island, NY. A true hero....what's amazing is that he made the conscious decision to sacrifice his own life to hopefully save the lives of his fellow Seals.

It's amazing how Marcus describes seeing Michael walk into the middle of the clearing to use the satellite phone when they were surrounded by the Taliban fighters, and in the middle of the phone conversation, Marcus saw Michael Murphy get shot in the back twice, then get back up and continue talking on the phone, until he was finally shot dead. Simply amazing. People like him make me feel proud to be American.
