This week we welcome Aurea Franklin, author of Silent Freedom. Aurea retired from the 101st Airborne Division, Air Assault (AASLT), and deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom for four years: two tours with the 101st and two years as a civilian contractor. Silent Freedom is a captivating memoir about Aurea’s time spent with the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault in Iraq. It is a story about courage, love, loss, and war. Silent Freedom will take you to the darkest corners of the war zone in Iraq while demonstrating how faith and hope can help make a difference. We examine the unique experience of women in a combat zone, and also the challenges women face as they re-integrate into the civilian world. She discusses how her faith guided her through multiple deployments, divorce, and separation from her son. So get ready to end the year with a bang, and enjoy this week’s episode.
