Marcus Luttrell is a former United States Navy SEAL who received the Navy Cross and Purple Heart for his actions in June 2005 facing Taliban fighters during Operation Red Wings. His survival story was so amazing that Hollywood made it into the hit 2013 movie Lone Survivor where actor Mark Wahlberg portrayed him.
Well Luttrell and his wife Melanie were vacationing in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, last week and enjoying the accommodations of Azul Resort in North Ambergris Caye. Ambergris Today also found out that the happy couple made trips to the reef onboard Lady Leslie catamaran and totally enjoyed what the island has to offer.

In 2010, Luttrell established the Lone Survivor Foundation. Headquartered in Houston, Texas the foundation’s mission is to “…restore, empower, and renew hope for our wounded warriors and their families through health, wellness, and therapeutic support. During his eight-year career in the United States Navy, Luttrell reached the rank of Petty Officer First Class.
