Service

A Navy SEAL at War

By: Marcus Luttrell

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

Length: 12 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell returned from his star-crossed mission in Afghanistan with his bones shattered and his heart broken. So many had given their lives to save him-and he would have readily done the same for them. As he recuperated, he wondered why he and others, from America's founding to today, had been willing to sacrifice everything-including themselves-for the sake of family, nation, and freedom.

In Service, we follow Marcus Luttrell to Iraq, where he returns to the battlefield as a member of SEAL Team 5 to help take on the most dangerous city in the world: Ramadi, the capital of war-torn Al Anbar Province. There, in six months of high-intensity urban combat, he would be part of what has been called the greatest victory in the history of U.S. Special Operations forces. We also return to Afghanistan and Operation Redwing, where Luttrell offers powerful new details about his miraculous rescue. Throughout, he reflects on what it really means to take on a higher calling, about the men he's seen lose their lives for their country, and the legacy of those who came and bled before.

A thrilling war story, Service is also a profoundly moving tribute to the warrior brotherhood, to the belief that nobody goes it alone, and no one will be left behind.

True America Heroes

Listening to these stories has made me more proud of our service men, special operations and all branches helping getting rid of evil. God Bless America and all our warriors in battle!

Great Book ‼️

It was an honor to have served my country and this book expresses my feelings and appreciation to all that have served ‼️

Very very good

I liked it a lot to hear the story’s of the people that keeps us to be able to listen to audio book.

love this book ~ add it to your must read list!!

So I just finished Service (in less than 2 days) and was not at all surprised to find it captivating and emotionally charged from the very beginning with his beautiful dedication to Morgan and Mel all the way through to the final acknowledgments. He cleared up so many questions that I had following the first book and also explained some things I didn't know that I didn't know (if that makes sense). The many amazing stories of his fellow soldier's valor and heroism were awe inspiring and heartbreaking and I thank God that we have such brave men serving our country. I loved hearing more stories about his friend Jon Tumilson and the amazing man and warrior that JT was, and I also thought the chapter by Amy and all the wives was very sweet and a poignant reminder of the many sacrifices that our military families make. I'm hoping that hearing these incredible stories of bravery will inspire everyone to do all we can to give back to our troops and their families since we owe them so much. Thanks so much to Marcus Luttrell for writing this wonderful book and may God bless him, his family and all those who served and continue to serve with valor.

Outstanding!

Once again Marcus Luttrell does an outstanding job. One of the best audiobooks I have purchased. Service truly conveys what it means to serve your Country.

Any additional comments?

I thought the chapter where the wife's share their love and marriage to these great warriors would be slow and boring. Wow, was I wrong. Now I see how these guys were able to do what they do. Behind every great man is a woman just as great!

Great book! - Thanks Marcus

What did you love best about Service?

I enjoyed the review of different hero's within the book! Just points out we are all just human, and some rise to the "occasion". Only downside was the narrator - it just took me a little to get use to his voice....

Double chest thump, and peace sign for my fellow brothers and sisters in arms.

Kept my interest through its entirety.

For me this was well-written, well read, and well thought out. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together. It was great hearing some of the back stories. I am from Houston and several of my friends also knew JT, Marcus, Morgan, from their days at Sam so they are like friends of friends to me.
