Hey there, Pithy Listeners! This week we are highlighting a fellow military spouse who traded her dainty little white gloves for powerful, resilient boxing gloves.   Refusing to “keep quiet,” Sybil Stockdale took her husband’s story of imprisonment and torture in North Vietnam public.  She united thousands of other POW families to insist the government  be held accountable to its servicemen and women.  And when he walked off the plane after more than 7 years in captivity, she was there waiting for him.  Listen now, and be sure to have your tissues ready.
