Disclaimer: WWII is a topic for this episode.
Hi friends! Godmother Mal is here to tell you the story of her new personal hero! Noor Inayat Khan was an ordinary woman who did extraordinary things. Through her courage, strength, and conviction to serve the greater good, Noor became a WWII hero.
To all female veterans of WWII (alive or otherwise . . . since you're most likely 90+ years old) . . . you were not recognized enough and we sincerely thank you for serving.
