Episode 0032 - Amanda Ballard & Elijah Sheek, Part 1

“Jacob was my best friend. I carried him.”

In this year’s Memorial Day episode, we speak with a Gold Star mother and brother about Lance Corporal Jacob Levy, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2011. They tell us about how 9/11 stirred an obsession in eleven-year-old Jacob, how the Lumbee Tribe honors all veterans, some of the difficulties Gold Star families go through after losing someone, and the different ways they now go about preserving, not only Jacob's memory, but all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
