In this episode you will hear:

 

• Thank goodness we didn’t have internet in college. You can’t get away with anything.
• We really can’t take credit for the work we’re doing [helping other combat vets]; it seems like it’s just happening. It’s meant to be.
• We’re just vessels helping it [our non-profit] come to life.
• It’s been an honor & a privilege to pay this forward.
• Marcus [Capone] watched GI Jane and decided to become a Navy SEAL.
• Amber: My dad is a big part of how resilient I’ve been.
• Marcus Capone to Marcus Luttrell: I was the first person you saw [in Germany after your Operation Red Wing injuries].   
• A surprised Marcus Luttrell: “THAT WAS YOU???!!!”  
• We were deployed, and we couldn’t find out about anything going on. We were getting updates from our wives back in the states.
• What we’ve been doing [our non-profit organization] has organically grown.
• 2008 was a particularly tough year. At every deployment, somebody wasn’t coming home.
