The Enduring Bond between a Marine and a Navy SEAL that Transcended Their Ultimate Sacrifice

Could not put it down. Went into much more detail on Lt. Manion which makes sense, since his father wrote most it. Nonetheless, an unbelievable story of what it means to be a great american, a great friend and great teammate. While most of us will never be called upon to do what these two heroes did, we can all strive to be as good a friend as they were to each other.

I have read several books lately about solders and this one is very easy to read and you don't want to put it down.I'm sure it was difficultl too do this. But I'm sure they made their son proud, I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a gripping story of two awesome young men who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Initially, I sped through the pages, but then had to start pacing myself, as I did not want the story to end.

My heartfelt thanks to Tom Sileo, and the Manion and Looney family for sharing their story with us. We should all bear their burden. I find myself making different choices in my own life to try honoring theirs.

We all need a better understanding of the heart wrenching sacrifice made by the men and women who give themselves willingly to protect this country and it's freedoms and to their families who have the courage to endure the separation and anxiety of their loved ones being in harms way. Thank you all !!!

This was a magnificent book that should be made into a true life movie. Being a vertebrae myself, it brought tears to my eyes at every turn. The strength of these families to have brought this story together is touching and remarkable. It further shows the of honor these young warriors and the sacrifices they and their fellow shoulders have made. To think of the numerous times they were called and answered that call to serve and lay their lives on the line should embarrass those so ungrateful to have not served including the majority of our government leaders

We will be forever indebted to these young and unselfish men and woman. They are all made if the right stuff. God bless them and their families who pay the price for freedom each and every day.

True American Warriors!
A fantastic read - couldn't put it down!
A moving story requiring a few tears!
Their family and friends can be justifiably proud of their short lives and careers!
Well written!

Not many books make me choke up as brothers forever did even though I knew the story I still hoped for a happier ending. I recommend reading this book to understand the sacrifices these young warriors and their family made for our country. RIP Travis Manion and Brendan Looney true heroes. As well as Janet Manion I'm sure you're in heaven with your beloved sons.

Amazing display of honor, courage and commitment. May their sacrifice always be remembered and honored. Incredible story that inspires each of us to look within and decide "if not me then who" and remember "I don't quit" as more than just words but a call to action in our own lives.

I read Tom Sileo's syndicated articles weekly and enjoy his endearing stories of our young heroes.
This book share heart wrenching stories of the sacrifice these young warriors make on our freedoms behalf and gives insight as to the trauma endured by their loved ones left behind.
Anyone who thinks our country's young people are less patriotic must read this account!

The story of two American heroes. As a. Naval Academy grad who has served for 25 years, I haven't even come close to what these two accomplished in their short lives. So proud to come from the same school as these two warriors.

My heart goes out to both families. This book captures the heart of what the ultimate sacrifice means. As a mother, wife and former Marine I don't know if I would've been strong enough to endure that pain. Semper Fi and thank you to all those that have served and continue to serve our nation.

A story of two strong American families that continue to give back to our county. A story of courage and strength. An explanation of what our young men and women our sacrificing for us while we live safely and comfortably at home in our United States of America.

A great read about loyalty and true friendship and Brotherhood. This is no story about casual friends. It shows deep feelings and the love that grows between people. Even men. I would highly recommend this book.
