Tyler, I can't really express in words how much I was touched by your bravery and courage, both during that horrific day, but also your ability to articulate those events and your continued fight for your Marine brothers to bring to light the truth of that day. Thank God we have Americans like you.

I listened to your interview with Sean ryan because I wanted to be a marine. But after some time I gained more then just knowledge about the marines. I learned that you are a real life super hero. Everything you went through, and who you are will be remembered. God bless you and thank you so much.

I'm currently writing a paper for my sophomore english class on the Afghanistan withdrawal. I watched your interview with Shawn Ryan for research and it has really stuck with me. Hearing about what you've overcome has inspired me to better myself and I wanted to thank you for that. Best wishes!

I heard your story on The Shaw Ryan Shaw podcast. Your bravery in losing your arm and leg during the Kabul bombing is inspiring. I pray you find justice, and that those responsible for failures face trial. You are truly an extraordinary and courageous man.
