Marcus Luttrell Remembers Real Life 'Lone Survivor' Rescue

[AndorranStairway]

It’s worth knowing that Mohammad Gulab, the man who saved Marcus, managed to escape the Taliban and is living somewhere free from the Taliban’s grasp. That man put his entire family in danger for helping a foreigner, much respect to him

He was literally re-living those moments. When he would pause, the look in his eyes. Nothing but respect for you sir.

I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus a few months ago. He came into my work. Him and his family & friends were vacationing at the resort I managed at. I was just chatting with his friend about how it was my last day at work because I was leaving to go into the service. He needed some help carrying drinks back from the bar, and I had volunteered to help. I had no clue what was about to happen. His friend said, “ I have someone you need to meet.” I told him okay and followed him over to where they were sitting. Marcus introduced himself and shook my hand. I was speechless. I felt so minuscule and almost embarrassed. I was just some girl who was working at the hotel, and just starting my journey into medicine with the military. This man is an absolute legend. Why is he talking to me? Marcus immediately started asking me questions. Where are you from? What are you trying to do? What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? He was on vacation and he made me feel like I mattered enough to stand in front of him. What an absolute HUMBLE human being. I wasn’t trying to take up his time, but he wanted to know more. He really seemed to care. At the end of the conversation he shook my hand again and said, “welcome to the family (military fam), and goodluck with your adventure.” I will forever remember that interaction. What a genuinely great guy ❤ You can’t fake that kind of sincerity.

Joes ability to just let guys talk is under appreciated

[TonyTeegarden]

I love how Joe didn’t jump in the gaps where Marcus was pausing. Such a pro move on Joe’s part. Respectful of Marcus’s experience and his way of sharing it...

[mikeakey]

Love you Marcus. Props to Joe for letting the silent moments happen. I felt this whole thing.

How horrible… you get to know 3 best friends and then watch them all die and come back home alive. Brave man, I wish you and your family the absolute best.

I still cry for Mike Murphy Danny Dietz and Matt Axleson. True brave courageous heroes. They deserve to be here with their families still

Heres a short story to testify to Marcus' character. Last year in May my hometown was ravaged by a tornado that killed people and destroyed hundreds of homes. I own a landscaping company so I have quite a few chain saws and helpers I can call on and help. I was up on a roof clearing east Texas pine trees off of peoples houses when three guys showed up to volunteer work. One of the guys was naturally leading the other two and when they climbed up on the roof, Marcus (I had no idea who he was) climbed up to where I was and ASKED ME, what can we do to help boss? He worked on that roof with me for nearly 5 hours in the Texas heat and then continued to help out all around the neighborhood for the following week. I would have never known who he was until someone in the town recognized him a few days later and posted on fb about it. He never name dropped, no catchy T-shirts, or anything like that. He was truly just heartbroken to see the devastation my town had gone through and came to help. This man has broken his body for our country so I know he was hurting on that roof with me but I would have never known.

When he pauses, know that he is literally re-living every second of it.

Marcus is a man of TRUE TEXAS GRIT. I’m thankful that we have these brave men who ask for so little but give/gave so much. 🙏🙏

[theinfamouskillianestes]

You can tell this man truly is hurt by what he saw. Whether he remembers or doesn’t, adds to the story or doesn’t. This man is hurt and left for dead and came out on top.

[damage]

You can literally see the ptsd in action when he speaks. It's actually very sad.

[blakepickett]

It breaks my heart seeing this man pause and gather himself enough to tell the story. This guy is broken mentally from it but also very strong.

[JimHill-pipn]

Couldn't watch without tearing bless him!

[centraltire]

This man is a true hero, not just for what he’s been thru but what he carries today, and still so positive and appreciative. I would love to meet him

[Clint_Yeetwood]

The way he occasionally stops and stares off, pauses in the middle of his story, you can he is reliving his experience vividly.

[Cwhiten]

Marcus was about to cry talking about this. He had to break that sadness quick. His toughness is second to none. So proud of you, brother!

[dbzgameplay]

You can see how much it affects Marcus silently. His facial expressions depict him remember horror. Military serviceman and woman are amazing ❤

Also rangers stated that they found axe body 10 days after the firefight stating that he was only dead for 3-4 days….. meaning he survived the gunfight and got away but died to to his injuries and no food and water
