Yesterday I was out doing errands in Chattanooga when a storm came up. I took refuge in a Barnes and Noble--what fun to browse without rushing! I picked up this book and read the last chapters of it. It is about the lone survivor of the SEAL team in Afghanistan. I didn't buy the book yesterday, but should have! I am going to do so the next time we are out. The reason I am telling you all about this is particularly because of the end of the book where Luttrell writes about GWB awarding him the Navy Cross. It was so interesting to read his comnents about his CIC (a fellow Texan!). Even if you don't want to read the whole book, those who love GWB will enjoy that chapter!

:o) - good wholesome country gals LOL
