6/13 : Influential Book • I have many book that I could have pulled out for today's challenge but none more deserving than this one right here. It's actually amazing how much of an influence certain books can have on your life and beliefs. This book has influenced not only my thoughts on our soldiers but also the enemy. First, I am so unbelievably grateful for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our own. It takes a certain kind a bravery that many of us do not possess. Secondly, the story show us never to judge a book by the cover. You can find a friend even in the scariest of places because kind people DO exist in this world. ●●● BOOK➡ Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell, The eyewitness account of operation Redwing and the lost heroes of Seal Team 10 ●●● #fullybookedjune #influentialbooks #erikareads #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookwormlife #bookworm #noseinabook #booklovers #bibliophile #june2k16bookchallenge #bookish #bookblogging #lonesurvivor #marcuslutrell #operationredwing #sealteam10

I am honored to live in the same town where a true American Hero: Matt Axelson is buried. Today marks the 8th Anniversary of his death, along with many more true Americans during a fateful mission in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. RIP to Matt and his brothers. May their families find solace in the fact they died doing something they loved and serving the greater good. Never fail!
