The most beautiful reunion… 21 years ago this week this incredible woman, US Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson, was captured in Iraq and spent the next 22 days held captive as a POW. One day before what she says she thought would be her last day alive US Marine Curney Russell, along with his fellow marines kicked in a door where she was being hidden and rescued Shoshana saving her life. Yet, the two of them have never met in person since that day!!!! I couldn’t believe that when I heard it. That day they got her on a helicopter to medically evacuate her and then Russell went back and served our country for several more years. Shoshana & Curney have not seen each other since… until now, 21 years later! Talk about heroes! The two were guests on my Unbreakable podcast for Veterans Day in the fall and when they said they still have not met in-person besides the day of the rescue I made them a promise I would make their reunion happen. So last week I flew them to California, along with other members of their team, to finally meet up once again. It was MAGICAL! We spent an incredible weekend together and even filmed another Unbreakable: A Mental WEALTH Podcast together (airs tomorrow) to document the reunion so they can lift up the world once again. This was some real life superhero stuff. Enjoy and help me celebrate them together. Such inspirations. They epitomize bravery, courage and inspiration. I was proud to be a fly on the wall and witness this beautiful reunion.
