Episode Details

In this special America’s Frontlines episode celebrating America’s 250th anniversary:

• Colonel Denny and Skip reflect on why the United States Declaration of Independence still matters. They explore the enduring principles of liberty, individual rights, and limited government that gave birth to the world's longest-lasting Constitutional Republic—and why every American should understand and preserve those ideals.
• Colonel Denny also reviews some of the hard-hitting news stories impacting our lives today, offering his perspective on the issues shaping the nation and the world.
• Our featured guest is retired Admiral Alan Reyes, CEO of Operation Homefront. Admiral Reyes reflects on his distinguished military career and discusses the organization's mission of strengthening military families by providing financial assistance, transitional housing, caregiver support, and other critical resources for those who serve and have served.
• As always, Colonel Denny delivers a healthy dose of his trademark humor and one-liners to keep our spirits high.
• In honor of America's 250th anniversary, Marceille Martinez presents a heartfelt reading written by her mother, Delilah Gorby, a schoolteacher from rural Michigan whose deep love of country inspired a message she shared with her students each year. It is a fitting tribute to the values and ideals that have united generations of Americans.
• And no celebration of our nation's birthday would be complete without our regular look back at military history from this point in time, remembering the events and sacrifices that helped secure the freedoms we continue to cherish today.

Join us as we celebrate 250 years of American independence, honor those who have defended it, and reflect on the principles that continue to guide our nation forward.
