Rob O’Neill endorses The Shot
Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who was part of the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, has endorsed The Shot.
The highly-decorated veteran, who was involved in more than 700 combat missions and is now an author and veterans advocate, said of Bill’s book:
“Marine Staff Sergeant Bill Bee is immortalized in a combat photo that perfectly describes the War on Terror. ‘The Shot’ is a book everyone needs to read to get an understanding of what our warriors go through to defend our freedom.
“The picture and Bill’s story encapsulate the speed, the noise, the horror, the permanence, the complete chaos of war, and the brotherhood. From losing teammates right in front of you, sharing stories about colleagues and from deployments, and keeping tabs on who you’ve served with, this book goes into detail about the casualties in combat and the unseen wounds brought home that never go away. A lot was asked of our Marines. Every day is a battle. We owe them”.
O’Neill served on SEAL Team Two, SEAL Team Four and for eight years on the legendary SEAL Team Six. He fired the deadly shots at the al-Qaeda leader during the historic raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011. He has since published two best-selling books - The Operator and The Way Forward.
He also co-founded the Special Operators Transition Foundation, which helps Special Operations Forces (SOF) veterans transition from the military into their next successful career.
