    Ep. 115- Jerry Boykin: Even 3-Star Generals Have to Fight

    Lieutenant General (Ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin led warriors at all levels in the US Army through some of the most dangerous and complex missions over 36 years. He was one of the original members of the U.S. Army’s commando unit and led the Army’s Green Berets and the Special Warfare Center and School. Later, he was the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and now is the Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council in Washington. I personally served with him in the Army and have witnessed his unusual level of courage, both on the battlefield and in the public arena. His faith has been an inspiration to me for decades, and even in the face of threats on his life, he does not back down and is not intimidated.

For 60 years, they held onto guilt and pain from WWII…until something happened that changed the rest of their lives and gave them peace.Today I’m joined by Don's daughter, Marianne, and Fritz’s sons, Matthias and Volker, to hear about an unlikely close friendship that is almost impossible for veterans who had seen each other as enemies for decades. I was blown away when I first heard their story!You’ll hear:Why Don and Fritz each joined their country’s military in the 1940’sWhat D-Day and The Battle of the Bulge was like for both sidesWhat led to an extremely unusual encounter 60 years after the warHow that encounter totally changed their lives and the lives of their familiesHow the book Saving My Enemy by Bob Welch, which details their story, came to be writtenOrder a copy of Saving My Enemy on Amazon HEREEnter to win a free e-copy of the book (drawing will be November 17)Leave a review of this podcast on your favorite platform; it helps us get these stories out to more people who need to hear them!To give specific feedback directly to us on what you like about the podcast and what you don’t, fill out this 5-minute survey.Don’t let fear win.
