Hospital Corpsman second class, Marcus Luttrell, was the lone survivor of a four man Seal Team during Operation Red Wing on June 28th, 2005. A large enemy force of over 50 Taliban soldiers engaged Luttrell's Seal team. In the ensuing firefight, a MH-47 Chinook helicopter came to their aid with eight additional Seals and eight Army "Night Stalkers". The Chinook was struck by an RPG, killing all 16 aboard. Three of Luttrell's Seal Team members died and he was blasted over a ridge by an RPG rocket and knocked unconscious. After regaining consciousness, some time later, he managed to escape - badly injured - and slowly crawl down the side of a cliff. The situation for Luttrell was grim. He was dehydrated, with a bullet wound to one leg, shrapnel embedded in both legs, and three cracked vertebrae. He evaded the enemy for nearly a day by crawling for seven miles. Locals from a nearby village came to his aid and kept him concealed, for three days, refusing to give Luttrell over to the Taliban. U.S. forces launched a massive operation that ended with his rescue. In 2006, Petty Officer Luttrell was awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism. He completed one more tour of duty and then retired as a 1st Class Hospital Corpsman.
I believe a Corpsman like Marcus Luttrell, who displayed great Honor, Courage, and Commitment, can show our cadets that no matter how bad or impossible something may seem: anything is possible and never quit. http://marcusluttrell.com/bio/
