Flex Your Freedom with Barb Allen Great American Syndicate / Barb Allen

Michelle Black is the widow of Staff Sergeant Bryan Black, one of the four Green Berets who died in Niger on October 4, 2017. The media reported the attack before the military informed her of her husband's death. Then bodycam footage of her husband's death was broadcast for the world to see - including Michelle, her two sons, her husband's parents, and the other family members of those killed alongside her husband. As if all of that was not difficult enough, the military also publicly denounced the actions of her husband's unit that day, implying that the Unit had "gone rogue" and had not been following orders.

In this episode of Flex Your freedom, Michelle shares her story as the widow of a man who, like so many others, gave his life in service of our country and its freedoms. Michelle put everything she learned into a book. That book, titled "Sacrifice- The Green Berets, a Fateful Ambush, and a Gold Star Wife's Fight For the Truth, is available now.

If you think this episode title is all over the place, try living it all out! That's just a snippet of the story behind our Host, Barb Allen's smile. We know our longtime listeners and our dedicated community have heard her story, but we bet you haven't heard it all. As for our newcomers, welcome! Once you hear this part of Barb's story you are all going to want to stick around, read her books, and share your own expertise that's grown from your own experiences.

So we figured we'd bring everyone back to the beginning with us, to get to know more about Barb's first husband, the tragedy behind his murder at the hands of a fellow soldier, the failure of the military judicial system (Think OJ Simpson, military style) and the incredible path that's led us all here today.

We've long admired Abby Johnson for the courageous and authentic way she's navigated her transition from leading one of the busiest Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics, to becoming one of the leading pro-life activists in this country.

Her newest book, Fierce Mercy, shines a spotlight on a side of the abortion industry not frequently considered by most of us; the humanity not only of the lives lost to abortion, but to the very people who staff those clinics. From the ways they wind up in that industry, to their struggles when they decide to follow Abby's example and leave, Abby works to offer support to those wishing to leave the industry.
