FYI
Lone Survivor was a great book. May he rest in peace.
Wow,just finished reading that book:eek:
Last I heard,a movie is in the works too
You know, I for one find it pathetic that the government feels a warrior has to fucking DIE before he can be considered for our nations highest honor. :rolleyes:
I may be wrong, but I think there are some people who lived and got the medal. 
Not since the Vietnam era (Vietnam era hero’s, that is…)
Oh, makes sense since the living recipient I heard the story of is kinda old…
half way through the book…great and sad story
by the way, check Matt Axelson’s website. Great tribute to a great warrior.
I am happy to read about the Congressional citation. For once, they are doing something worthwhile that doesnt involve a congressional page or restroom.
What a pity its posthumous.
I hope this hightens awareness about the sacrifices these guys make on a daily basis. They lost a support boat driver today as well in a training exercise.
Universal bought the rights to Lone Survivor. Peter Berg (The Kingdom) will direct the film. No ETA as yet.
I hope some of the profits will go to the families…
By all accounts he was a friendly, humble, polite gentleman to most who knew him. At the same time, a fearless and deticated warrior who stood firmly between us and those animals overseas.
So many worthless, arrogant, self-absorbed, ignorant, disturbed, abusive, evil “people” in this world. Why couldn’t those rounds that took his worthy life have been off just a bit…:mad:
God bless his soul.
