#220 | Michelle Black | Gold Star Widow & Author of SACRIFICE Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Michelle Black joined The Protectors to talk about her book SACRIFICE and a ton more. SACRIFICE is the first book in years that I sat down and read cover to cover, it is that intense and a must-read. Michelle has an incredible story.
About the Book: The shocking and affecting memoir from a gold-star widow searching for the truth behind her Green Beret husband’s death, this book bears witness to the true sacrifices made by military families. When Green Beret Bryan Black was killed in an ambush in Niger in 2017, his wife Michelle saw her worst nightmare become a reality. She was left alone with her grief and with two young sons to raise. But what followed Bryan’s death was an even more difficult journey for the young widow. After receiving very few details about the attack that took her husband’s life, it was up to Michelle to find answers. It became her mission to learn the truth about that day in Niger–and Sacrifice is the result of that mission. In this heartbreaking and revelatory memoir, Michelle uses exclusive interviews with the survivors of her husband’s unit, research into the military leadership and accountability, and her own unique vantage point as a gold-star widow to tell a previously unknown story. Sacrifice is both an honest, emotional look inside a military marriage and a searing investigation of the people and decisions at the heart of the US military.

#215 | Shane Erickson | DeliverFund May 12, 2021

Show notes

Shane Erickson, a Senior Targeting Analyst with DeliverFund, joined The Protectors to shine a light on trafficking and ways we can help. Please note this interview contains graphic and sensitive content.

You can stop traffickers. No, not by arresting them, nor any vigilante action, but by raising awareness. You can report suspected trafficking. You can be a great witness for law enforcement. Raise awareness is more than just telling your friends. You can get involved and ask your local politicians what they are doing to address trafficking. You can go farther and ask Congress what they are doing. You can volunteer. YOU can help stop traffickers.
