I played tennis and was in drama, because I was too small for football. When I graduated from high school, I was 5’6?, 154 pounds. I just didn’t grow right.

Marcus Luttrell: “You have to go through hell to find out what true happiness can be”
Hope is an interesting subject for me. When I was a kid I hoped to serve my country. To make my parents proud. In the teams I hoped my teammates came home – but understood we may not.
