Episode 74: A Gold Star Widow's Fight For The Truth with Michelle Black
Losing our countrymen in war is something that is we have to deal with, but one we accept in that it’s a necessary evil to combat those who wish us harm. When those deaths are clouded in controversy, it makes it incredibly tough to accept. I sat down with green beret Gold star widow Michelle Black, to talk about her search for the truth after her husband was killed in Niger.
