Tonight's episode is on the most unlikely hero of Vietnam, 4'9" Special Forces Capt. Richard Flaherty. His story of overcoming the odds and becoming one of the Vietnam War's most deadly assets is nothing short of amazing. Tune it at 8pm East LIVE! Sponsored by 22 Sierra Coffee Co.

John Chapman epitomized the concept of "the quiet professional." He served in the elite ranks of the USAF's Combat Controllers and was the only Airman to be awarded the Medal of Honor during the Global War on Terror. He was a true warrior. Unfortunately, his story isn't without controversy as infighting between the Navy and Air Force shed light on his team abandoning him on the Afghan mountainside.

Tonight is our official re-launch! 21 Gun strayed from its origins over the last several years, producing hard-hitting shows for various media organizations. Tonight, we go back to our roots, honoring veterans and brining their stories of struggles and triumphs. Tonight, we discuss the tragic story of Pat Tillman. From an unlikely NFL career to the frontlines of war, his untimely death and the unforgivable coverup, we cover it all.

Thank you all for checking out the show! We found a new home over at Compound Media. So, we've been holding off on guests until our new schedule was solidified. I think we're finally there. Full shows will be available on their platform and recaps will be here. Thanks for listening and be sure to head over to www.twentyonegun.net for every 21 Gun

In this episode we recap this week's viral news and events from an independent prospective.

If you haven't noticed we've been a little unpredictable with uploading shows recently and it is because we're moving to a new network. We have several prerecorded episodes that I wanted to get out before the move. We will still be recording free content here along with premium content on the new platform (soon to be announced).

End of year special episode with Michelle Black.

Michelle is the author of "Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow's Fight for the Truth." Her husband, Green Beret Bryan Black, was killed in an ambush in Niger in October of 2017. After receiving few and contradictory details about the ambush, she took it upon herself to find the answers. She trained herself to be an investigative journalist and conducted exclusive interviews with the survivors of her late husband's unit and researched military leadership and accountability to tell a previously unknown story.

Michelle and I had a nice talk about the meaning of family, life as a mil-spouse, raising children and the search for truth - no matter how painful. It was a honor to have her on the show and I hope you enjoy the interview.

Our last show before Christmas 2021! Gifts galore! Or will Jeremy and Frank get coal in their 21 Gun stockings?

We have two special guests tonight to end off a great year for 21 Gun. First, we have Erik Nagel, producer of the infamous Opie and Anthony show. If you're not familiar with O&A, they revolutionized modern radio entertainment for over 25 years and were a major inspiration for yours truly.

We also have Fletcher Gill, founder of Luke's Wings. Luke's Wings reunites injured, wounded, and ill service members with family by providing complementary air fare during recovery and rehabilitation. Awesome organization! Let's see if we can help them out this Christmas!
