In this episode, we interview Ken Kraus, a former United States Marine who was taken hostage during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Ken was 22 years old and the first hostage taken during this heart stopping historical event. Ken describes the attack on the embassy, the negotiations with the militants, and the brutal 8 days he endured as a hostage, and ultimately being sentenced to be executed. Despite facing his own mortality, Ken Kraus maintained his faith and commitment to serving his country. After his release, he continued his service in the military and later as a police officer. Ken's story is a testament to the resilience and bravery of those who serve in the face of extreme adversity.
