Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond. ~ Navy SEAL Creed
Born and raised in Texas, Marcus began training for the SEALs at age 14. He worked hard and achieved his dream. On June 28, 2005, Marcus and three fellow SEALs were sent to the mountains of Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush with the mission of “killing or capturing” a high-ranking Taliban leader (Operation Red Wings). During an intense gun battle with Taliban forces, all but one of the SEALs sent on that mission were killed. Marcus lived, though he sustained multiple gunshot wounds, survived horrific falls, and had to walk and crawl seven miles while waiting days for rescue. Returning home, Marcus was awarded the esteemed Navy Cross. For many, that would be the end of the story. For Marcus, it was just the beginning.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail. ~ Navy SEAL Creed
