"To Not Be Forgotten", a podcast dedicated to preserving the lives and legacies of the noble Peshmerga. This isn't just a history lesson—it's a journey into the hearts and minds of those who faced unimaginable challenges with courage and resilience. I dive deep into their personal stories, sharing accounts of bravery, sacrifice, and the unwavering spirit that defined these individuals. Through their battles, triumphs, and moments of sorrow, I aim to honor those who gave so much for the cause of freedom. Through these narratives, the Peshmerga, those who gave so much without seeking recognition. This podcast is more than a recounting of the past, it's a tribute to the Peshmerga, ensuring their sacrifices are remembered and their stories continue to inspire future generations.
