A SOLDIERS FAMILY | LIFE AFTER TRAUMA

Thanksgiving is a time to show your gratitude for your friends, family, and all that you have in life. This year will be quite different for most folks, no large gatherings of family and friends. But it is still an important time for reflection and thankfulness for all that we have, and finding new ways to express gratitude. We should always acknowledge those that sacrifice so much for the rest of us, our servicemen and women and their families. Jessica Allen joins Montel on this edition of Free Thinking to share her family's story of sacrifice, dedication, and resilience. Their life was forever changed in 2010 when her husband, Charles Allen III, was severely injured after stepping on a 40lb IED while on dismounted patrol in Afghanistan.
