The conference that I went to yesterday was awesome. I have a few complaints but over all it was a wonderful event. There was so much to do and so many people to talk to. The most emotional time was when Marcus Lutterell spoke. He must have talked for well over one hour. He told his story and there was not a dry eye in the room by the time he was finished. You can read google him to find out more about him. Here is a little bit from his bio:
Marcus Luttrell is the author of New York Times best-selling book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10, which tells the harrowing story of four Navy SEALs who journeyed into the mountainous border of Afghanistan and Pakistan on Operation Redwing. An unparalleled motivational story of survival, the book is also a moving tribute to the friends and teammates who did not make it off the mountain.
I am definately going to buy his book.
There were over 6000 women at the conference. The women were from different backrounds. It was nice to see so many women enjoy the day together. I can't wait to go back next year.
I am going to Austin tomorrow to finally see CDM1's house. I am excited. We are also going to the City Wide Garage Sale. MSH has to try and finish the storage building so he won't be going.
Everything else is going great.

I saw Marcus speak during the Heroes Tour. I will never forget him. He and SSG David Bellavia are true American heroes. Luttrell's book is great. Bellavia's book is called "House to House: A Soldier's Memoir". It is amazing. You will never take another breath for granted after you read his book.
