Be a 'victor and not a victim' I need to remind myself of this daily, and I believe America as a whole would benefit by this mindset.

Mr. Crenshaw talks about his SEAL training ...BUDS....and how it affected his life. He was raised with a working ethic and that also helped him in life. He talks about the IED that led to the long road back to returning to a SEAL team. This was so inspirational and moving. Also a message for me: never complain. Stay true in your beliefs.

He states about the "outrage culture": 'A culture characterized by self pity, indulgence, outrage and resentment is a culture that will fall apart'. He also states that culture should be 'grit, discipline and self-reliance'. Words of reflection and motivation.

A wonderful, authentic, motivational book. Thank you, Mr. Crenshaw, for your service to our Great Country. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for blessing me with an ARC!

Thank you Twelve Books and NetGalley for this copy of Fortitude by Dan Crenshaw in exchange for an honest review. It published April 7, 2020.
I have the help of my husband for this review, who read this book twice already! This book is inspiring and well-written. A fascinating telling of his story and his hopes for the future cause a lot of introspection and inspiration.
This would appeal to many different people who are interested in a recent war-hero and his experiences.
