Four weeks after Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden, the President of america stood in Arlington National Cemetery. In his Memorial Day address, he extolled the courage and sacrifice of the two young men buried side by side within the graves before him: Travis Manion, a fallen US Marine, and Brendan Looney, a fallen US Navy SEAL. Despite the fact that they were killed three years apart, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, these two perfect friends and former roommates were now buried together–“brothers eternally.”

Award-winning journalist Tom Sileo and Travis’s father, former Marine colonel Tom Manion, come together to tell thisd intimate story, from Travis’s unbelievable heroism at the streets of Fallujah to Brendan’s anguished Navy SEAL training within the wake of his friend’s death and his own heroism within the mountains of Afghanistan. Brothers Forever is a remarkable story of friendship, circle of relatives, and war.
