Meeting Marcus Luttrell

I took a trip to Buffalo, New York, on June 11th, and met Marcus Luttrell at a book signing at Barnes and Noble.
I read 'Lone Survivor' (if you haven't, go read it. It's a depressing read, but an amazing one. I shed man-tears at the end of it.), but I didn't bring it with me though (I let my friend borrow it. He didn't finish it. Or he did and he doesn't want to give it back). But I did bring his latest book 'Service' and I got that signed.
I walked into the building, got in line, and saw him. I was filled with some sort of feeling... a mix of excitement, with some fear... like I didn't deserve to be in his presence.
Did you ever have one of those moments where you've spent a long time wanting to meet someone so bad, that once you finally meet them, you're at a loss for words?
Yep. I had one of those moments. My jaw dropped, and I couldn't say a thing. So I said what came to my mind at that moment: "Ever since I've read 'Lone Survivor' I wanted to meet you." I got a picture with him, I shook his hand, and then thanked him.
It. Was. Amazing.
