We found shared PURPOSE through shared SUFFERING: US Navy SEAL veteran

. MIKE CERELLI J JOINS ME NOW. HIS SERVICE INCLUDE MAJOR. OPERATIONS IN IRAQ. HE'S CHIEF TALENT OFFICER AT. OVERWATCH MISSION CRITICAL AND. HOST OF "MAN OF HONOR, THE. MICHAEL MANSUER STORY.". THAT IS AVAILABLE ON SEPTEMBER. 29.

IT TELLS THE STORY OF MIKE'S. FRIEND AND TEAMMATE. HE GAVE HIS LIFE IN IRAQ PUTTING. HIMSELF ON A GRENADE TO SAVE. THREE NAVY SEALS. MIKE, ALWAYS AN HONOR TO HAVE. YOU WITH US. >> THANK YOU. HAPPY PATRIOTS DAY. >> Martha: HAPPY PATRIOTS DAY. WHAT LED YOU TO YOUR LIFE OF. SERVICE THAT FOLLOWED AS WE. FOUGHT BACK? >> I CAME INTO THE MILITARY IN. 1998. SO YOU KNOW, DEPARTMENT CAUSE ME.

TO JOIN, DEFINITELY IMPACTED MY. ADULT LIFE WITH TEN COMBAT. DEPLOYMENTS. I STILL HAVE THIS ANGER TODAY AS. MUCH AS I DID ON THAT DAY. 3,000 AMERICANS WERE MURDERED. ALSO PRIDE. WHAT AMERICA DID DURING AND. AFTER 9-11 IS EXTRAORDINARY. THE FIRST COUNTER ATTACK WERE. NOT TROOPS ON THE GROUND IN. AFGHANISTAN. IT WAS NORMAL AMERICANS THAT. CHOSE TO FIGHT BACK ON FLIGHT.

93. THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY. WE WERE -- WE HAD THE SHARED. PURPOSE THROUGH SHARED. SUFFERING. DIDN'T MATTER IF YOU WERE ON THE. LEFT OR RIGHT. WE CAME TOGETHER. THERE TOWER BEHIND US SHOWS US. WHEN YOU'RE UNITED, IT'S NOT. SENTIMENTAL. IT NATIONAL POWER. YOU CAN HIT US AS MUCH AS YOU. WANT, AS HARD AS YOU WANT. WE WILL REBUILD AND COME AFTER. YOU. WE DID. >> Martha: GIVE US A SENSE OF. WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THOSE EARLY.

DAYS IN THE WAR ON TERROR? ALL OF YOU, NAVY SEALS, OVER. THERE, TRYING TO FIGHT BACK, OTHER GROUPS TRYING TO FIND BIN. LADEN. PUT US IN THAT MOMENT OVER THERE. AS THE FIGHT WAS UNDERWAY. >> THE PRIMARY THING THAT COMES. TO MIND IS VENGEANCE. WE WANTED VENGEANCE. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ENOUGH. BLOOD THAT COULD FILL THAT. THIRST. WE WANTED PAYBACK. YOU KNKNOW, THE INITIAL TROOPS. THE GROUND IN AFGHANISTAN, THEN. IRAQ, ONE IT WAS THE AMOUNT OF. PRIDE I HAD WATCHING THOSE MEN.

AND WOMEN THAT WORE THE JUNE. FORM, DEMONSTRATE SELFLESS VALOR. ON A NIGHTLY BASIS. IT IS THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF. MY LIFE. WE HAD A PURPOSE. WHEN YOU BRING A GROUP TOGETHER. AND YOU GIVE THEM A PURPOSE THAT. THEY CAN COALESCE AROUND, THERE'S NO STOPPING AMERICANS. WHEN THEY'RE UNIFIED. >> Martha: WE TALKED BEFORE. ABOUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS THAT. ARE PUTTING THE FOCUS ON OTHER. THINGS RIGHT NOW THAN THE. TERRORISTS THEMSELVES. THE SURVIVORS AND THE HEROS OF.

IT. BIG CONCERNS OVER ISLAMOPHOBIA, BIG CONCERNS OVER OTHER ELEMENTS. OF THIS. IT'S NOT REALLY BEING TAUGHT 25. YEARS LATER IN A TRUTHFUL WAY. >> THIS WAS A SHOCK TO US. WE SAW THE "NEW YORK POST". ARTICLE COME OUT. WE HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS. HAPPENING. IT LUDICROUS. THE THING THAT WE'VE TURNED THE. RADICAL ISLAMISTS AND TERRORISTS. IN TO VICTIMS, THAT -- THERE'S. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. IF YOU KNOW HISTORY, RADICAL.

ISLAM EXISTED BEFORE THE BIRTH. OF THIS NATION. THEY ARE TERRORISTS. THEY'RE MURDERS. I PROBABLY CAN'T SAY IT ON. NATIONAL TV. I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. TERRORISTS. THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE FOR THEM. TO BE. >> Martha: THANK YOU FOR YOUR. SERVICE AND ALL OF THOSE THAT. FOUGHT ALONGSIDE YOU AND THE. STORY OF YOUR FRIEND, MICHAEL, IS A MUST SEE. I KNOW YOU'RE SO PLEASED WITH. THE WAY THIS DOCUMENTARY TURNED. OUT AS A TRIBUTE TO THE HEROISM.

OF MICHAEL. I URGE EVERYBODY TO WATCH IT. OVER THIS WEEKEND AND TO TAKE A. MOMENT TO REMEMBER H.
