Sherry Goldman's guest is Sam Waltz, strategic PR counselor and founder of SamWaltz.com Strategic Capital & Business Council. Timed with 2025 being the 84th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, Sherry and Sam discuss his Silver Anvil award-winning public relations campaign to vindicate two scapegoated 1941 Pearl Harbor Commanders, Adm. Husband Kimmel and Gen. Walter Short, and restore the reputations. The effort, which was championed by then (then Senator) Joe Biden, earned 3 votes in Congress and effectively changed WWII history.
