Freedom Will Be Defended

Marcus Luttrell, the former NAVY Seal and author of the "The Lone Survivor," has cut a commercial for the National Rifle Association, and he does not mince words.

If you want to seek out a true American hero, look no further than Marcus Luttrell, who has been awarded the Navy Cross and a Purple Heart for his heroic actions during Operation Red Wings.

The story at the heart of The Lone Survivor, of which the award winning movie was based, is a story every American must familiarize themselves with.  Luttrell is the lone survivor of his team, which included Matthew G. Axelson, Danny P. Dietz and team leader Michael P. Murphy. Murphy was award the US Military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in the War in Afghanistan. His parents and family were on hand as a United States Navy destroyer was named in his honor.

Luttrell understands what he and his brothers were fighting for, and the freedoms we hold dear in this nation blessed by God are central among them.  Certainly, Luttrell also understands our enemies, foreign and domestic, and is willing to fight for them.

I stand right there with you brother!
