Lone Survivor Pt. 1

I am currently reading the book Lone Survivor I have read the first 50 pages of the book so far. It is a non-fiction book that has to do with war and it connects with the patriotism I have for my country. This book starts with Marcus Lattrell, he's a navy seal, and is apart of SEAL team 10. He gives an account of how his teammates fought and died in Afghanistan. This story is a heart wrenching account of courage and bravery. The story begins with a prologue of Marcus visiting the families of the men who died in the fight in the mountains of Afghanistan, and those who died in the attempt to rescue there fellow comrades. He travels all over the country to tell each person that his fallen comrade was very close too. In one case the mom did not accept that her son had been killed until Marcus told her. This tears on my heart because this mom loved her son so dearly and he lost his life fighting for our country. I am always indebted to the people that fight for the is great country and the country I like to call the greatest on the planet.  Each visit included Marcus retelling the story of their courage and how they died these visits were filled with deep sadness and many tears. These weren't visits that Marcus wanted to make but he knew he must make them to help the grieving families and honor those who died. As things move forward he is sitting on the airplane, where he then begins to ponder the experiences in training and how the training has helped him not only to be a better fighter, but a tougher man as well. His thoughts are only for a time before he parachutes out into the Afghan mountains.
