The story of Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's rescue in the hills of Afghanistan is one of the most famous moments of the recent war. Luttrell's teammates died in a battle that started after they refused to kill three goat herders. Now, in addition to a book and a movie, there is a painting to commemorate the battle. Emily Kopp is at the Air Force Association's Air and Space Conference with the artist, Maj. Warren Neary and someone who knows the subject of this painting well, Lt. Col. Jeff "Spanky" Peterson.
