Marcus Luttrell

navy sailor

1975

Marcus Luttrell is a retired United States Navy SEAL who received the Navy Cross and Purple Heart for his disputed actions in June 2005 against Taliban fighters during Operation Red Wings in which he was the lone survivor. Marcus Luttrell was saved because a kind-hearted Afghan villager named Mohammad Gulab found him, provided shelter, and protected him from the Taliban, following the traditional Pashtunwali code of hospitality. Gulab then alerted American forces, leading to a massive rescue operation that extracted the wounded and gravely injured SEAL. Luttrell became an SO1 by the end of his eight-year career in the United States Navy.
