Marcus Luttrell

Marcus Luttrell commands a respect that has nothing to do with showbusiness. A Navy SEAL from Houston, Texas, he was the lone survivor of Operation Red Wings in 2005, losing his teammates and carrying that weight ever since. The Navy Cross and Purple Heart on his record are not trophies but markers of unimaginable loss and endurance. What I find most remarkable is his decision to turn that survival into testimony, telling the story so the fallen would not be forgotten. There is a gravity to a man who lives out the responsibility of having made it home, and it humbles me every time.
