The guy who finally pulled the trigger on Osama bin Laden is not patting himself on the back. He's giving as much credit to his teammates who got him to that position.

The heart and soul of a Navy SEAL is somebody who's committed to their country and committed to their teammates.

It is a true miracle when a man finally sees himself as his only opposition.

When you're in a position to have gotten so much, the gift at this point is giving back.

I want to share some insight into why someone would want to be a SEAL. A lot of us faced obstacles growing up. I didn't have any type of real nurturing as a kid. I hope people will relate to my story and go, 'Hey, if this guy can do it, so can I.'

He never pulled the trigger on his candidacy. That was not for me to do, or for anybody else.
