Heck of a guy. Heck of a lucky guy, I guess, if you can call it that.

Hard story to listen to.

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

No.  I looked that up last night.  I thought I remembered something about it.  The service dog he has now also triggered that memory.  They said the dog never leaves his side.

Those labs make great comfort dogs. I have a Comfort dog and I'm not even traumatized.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I read Lone Survivor when it came out years ago. I was a little disappointed in the movie. I know that it should the brotherhood well, but it didn't follow the true account of Red Wings very well.

I think his second book, Service - A Navy SEAL at War, is a great read. I recommend it.
