HIS FACE SHREDDED, NOSE BROKEN, ROTATOR CUFF TORN, THREE VERTEBRAE CRACKED, RIDDLED WITH SHRAPNEL AND
UNABLE TO STAND, Luttrell began to crawl through the mountains in search of shelter. Help arrived by way of the Afghan villagers of Sabray. They took Luttrell in, cleaned up his wounds and, honoring their tribe’s custom, protected him from the Taliban at the risk of their own lives. As the Taliban circled the village and the threats intensified, the village elder sought help from the nearest Marine outpost. Five nights after the nightmare began, Luttrell was rescued.
Marcus Luttrell’s 2007 #1 New York Times best-selling book, Lone Survivor, tells the harrowing story of four Navy SEALs who journeyed into the mountainous border of Afghanistan and Pakistan on Operation Redwing. An unparalleled motivational story of survival, the book is also a moving tribute to the friends and teammates who did not make it off the mountain. A powerful testament to the courage, integrity, patriotism and community that forged these American heroes, Lone Survivor is an incredible account of teamwork, fortitude and modern warfare.
At this year’s VOICES OF VISION event, Marcus will show us what it means to be a courageous leader and team member. He will share what it takes to join America’s elite fighting force, to his family’s experience of community support and generosity, and back to his own incredible story of survival and grace. In powerful narrative, he will weave a rich account of courage and sacrifice, honor and patriotism, community and destiny that our attendees will find both wrenching and life-affirming.

“I WILL NEVER QUIT. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”
