Parents and Grandparents! Are you searching for amazing adventures from our past that will not only thrill and inspire your children, but more so rescue them from scrolling endlessly through social media?
Introducing the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS podcast, where our history's powerful--yet often untold--stories will take your breath away.
Igniting a passion within our young people to arise and stand courageously with history's "noble and great ones".
I’m Rick Robison. Husband, father, grandfather, Veterans Hospital Volunteer, historian, and former intel officer. But most of all concerned patriot seeing our once exceptional nation being “fundamentally transformed” from within.
“History must be judged strenuously and within historical context.”
Please join with us in our quest to shine the light of truth on America’s glorious past. To honor America’s heroes and heroines. For without them, our world today would be a dark and despotic place, one we would not recognize.
For “Not to know what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of a human being unless it be woven into the life, the mosaic, of our ancestors” (Marcus Tullius Cicero).
To leap with both feet into such a vital adventure requires that we gather, but more so, harness, the stories of our illustrious heroes and heroines. To do that successfully we must place them within a comprehendible historical setting. This takes work, my friends.
This is the “why” of the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast Series. Its purpose and mission. With a passion we’ve done the heavy lifting. Transporting you back in time to experience what it was like standing shoulder-to-shoulder with history’s noble and great ones, as they rose to save our world…yet, too often sacrificing life and limb. Freely offering their “last full measure of devotion” in our behalf.
The 100 Indispensable Heroes of American History. An entertaining, fast-moving ride we guarantee will thrill you, right down to the often-shocking finish! Each story provides proof of why, and how, these heroes are heroes, saving our nation, our world, and our way of life.
Please join with me each week immersing yourself in our unique and entertaining “FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS” Podcast Series. Walk in their footsteps. Witness through their eyes how these genuine, honest, everyday people helped save our world!
In this I guarantee that you, but more so your children, will rekindle a passion for life, suddenly seeing the potential this great, God-centered land offers every honest, hardworking seeker after truth. Stories that restore and inspire young minds and hearts—of all ages!
By embracing these noble and great ones, we join with them—E Pluribus Unum—as they offer “their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor.”
I know you’ll agree. We need such heroes, now more than ever.
I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, something happened to America that I hope we never forget.
Firefighters and police ran into danger trying to save lives.
Flight attendants and passengers fought terrorists with nothing but their bare hands.
Americans lined up to give blood.
And for a little while, the arguments stopped and an incredible miracle occurred: American flags came out everywhere. By 9/12 American flags were sold out all over the country.
We, as neighbors, as Americans, stood united against a common foe.
Twenty-five years later—because history is nothing if not our best early warning system—that is the message I believe we most need today.
Twenty-five years ago, terrorists tried to get us at each other’s throats. Today I am convinced that unless we change our thinking, we will, in fact, do the damage ourselves those 9/11 murderers wanted done to us.
I pray we never forget the sacrifices, but more so the lessons, of September 11, 2001.

Thomas Jefferson was tasked with the treasonous task of authoring the Declaration of Independence, separating the Americans forever from King George III of England.
Without hesitation, Jefferson opened his portable desk and began work.
He wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
These were rights that no man, or king, could take from them.
Wisdom and observation taught Jefferson that those rights came from God, they were inherited, they were innate in the human spirit.
And governments existed solely to protect those rights, nothing more.
That government received its legitimate authority from “the consent of the governed.” That idea struck directly at the ancient belief of the divine right of kings, that kings ruled because God had made them kings and that “commoners never had the right to challenge a king.”
Thomas Jefferson and our Founders shattered such false traditions. And the world would never be the same again.

The ancient stone walls of the Alamo trembled beneath another thunderous cannon blast.
Mexican soldiers surged forward in wave after wave, their battle cries echoing through the cold dawn air of March 6th, 1836.
The defenders, fewer than two hundred Americans, had held out against overwhelming odds for thirteen days hoping for reinforcements.
Near one section of the crumbling wall stood a tall, broad-shouldered frontiersman wearing a worn buckskin hunting shirt. His long rifle he named “Old Betsy” flashed again and again.
When powder ran out, he seized Old Betsy by the barrel and swung it like a club against Mexican soldiers pouring through the breach.
David “Davy” Crockett had fought bears, hostile natives, and fierce political battles in Washington his entire life. Now, surrounded by 2,000 heavy assault troops, he fought for something far more important.
Liberty itself.
And to the end, he never gave in or gave up. In fact, the great American name, Davy Crockett, is synonymous with the story of America.

When America entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Doss wanted to serve.
But he did not want to kill another human being.
He was willing to risk his life for his country and for the men of his Army company. But he simply refused to take another life while doing so.
Many fellow soldiers did not understand. Some accused him of not being a “real man,” of being a coward.
Yet he also refused to hate the men who tormented him. Instead, he trained and trained hard. He mastered the skills of a medic.
Eventually, the men around him would discover that the soldier they considered a coward possessed truly remarkable courage and skill.
We can each learn from his unselfish prayer, offered not for himself, but for others: “Lord, please help me save just one more...”

The message arrived in the middle of the night.
Another threat from a shadowy, enraged stranger promising a violent attack.
Such cowardly messages appeared simply because J. K. Rowling, the acclaimed author of the Harry Potter Series, had refused to say what others demanded she say.
They threatened her family. Her highly popular books were targeted for boycott. Former friends and colleagues publicly disowned her.
Yet the courageous woman she is, J. K. Rowling did something that frightened her critics more than silence ever could. She spoke with even greater clarity and fortitude.
In her amazing public stand, the depth of her character shown for all the world to see. A strong woman who, after reaching the summit of literary success, discovered a deeper, more powerful message to our world.
I see J. K. Rowling’s example of courage as her most valuable contribution of all, especially as an example to our kids today. She demonstrates that true courage always comes at a price...

The sky above London glowed bright crimson. It was not the red of a setting sun but the terrible glow of a city on fire and under siege.
German bombers droned through the darkness, dropping tons of incendiary bombs upon homes, churches, and factories. Fire engines raced through shattered neighborhoods while exhausted rescue workers clawed through broken buildings with bleeding hands, searching for survivors. Every explosion shook the foundations of one of the world’s leading cities.
Across the continent, Adolf Hitler's armies had conquered nation after nation with breathtaking speed. Nearly every military expert believed Britain would soon find itself under full scale Nazi invasion.
In the midst of the smoke and ruin, one solid, broad-shouldered man wearing a determined scowl beneath his bowler hat, refused even to whisper the word “surrender.”
His name was Winston Churchill. And history would forever remember him as the man who stared into the totalitarian abyss and never blinked...

One autumn evening just prior to the Civil War, the escaped slave Frederick Douglass stepped onto the platform of an abolitionist street meeting knowing he could get beat up, maybe even lynched for his efforts. Pro-slavery supporters shouted obscenities with each word he spoke.
Looking into the faces of those who hated the cause of liberty for all, courageously Frederick Douglass declared slavery a deep moral evil that was rotting America from within.
Frederick Douglass was self-taught. He traded bread to poor white boys in exchange for reading lessons and old books. He kept old newspapers and squirreled them away to read when alone.
He listened to inspiring speeches and memorized them. He secretly borrowed his master’s Bible, reading it long into the night. Every new word he mastered strengthened his mind.
His tireless abolitionist campaigning changed the course of history helping support the war effort, the War Between the States that would free those in bondage...

As casualty reports from Gettysburg poured in, President Abraham Lincoln wrestled with one haunting question:
How could he tell thousands of grieving families their loved ones had not died in vain?
More than 51,000 American casualties in the bloodiest battle in the nation’s history.
Preparing for his Gettysburg cemetery dedication speech, Lincoln turned to the Declaration of Independence, recognizing that the Civil War was testing whether a nation founded on God-given rights could survive.
At Gettysburg, he reminded Americans that the fallen had already consecrated the battlefield through their sacrifice. The responsibility now belonged to the living.
His warning still echoes today: freedom is never inherited automatically. Freedom is entrusted to ordinary men and women who must decide, in every generation, whether they will prove worthy of those who came before them.
That was America’s unfinished work at Gettysburg. It remains America’s unfinished work today.

No one wanted the assignment. To bring in two desperate killers with a nasty habit of ambushing lawmen.
US Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves was assigned the task. Packing light, he headed into Indian Territory alone, as he typically operated, in disguise as a poor, weary vagabond.
When reaching the outlaws' hideout—found by his exceptional tracking skills learned from years living with local Indian tribes—the outlaws suspected nothing. The criminals laughed and boasted of their murders of lawmen and countless robberies.
Then they found themselves staring down the barrel of a shotgun.
Marshal Reeves stated matter-of-factly that they could go to jail upright walking as men, or draped across their horses like dead animals, it didn’t much matter to him. So, he marched the handcuffed and hobbled prisoners off to Fort Smith, Arkansas for trial.
Today, historians recognize Bass Reeves as one of the greatest lawmen in American history. His many exploits inspired popular fictional Western heroes like the Lone Ranger and others.

There’s a movie out right now you must see. More so, you need to take your children and grandchildren.
Most Americans have heard of George Washington. But few understand how absolutely irreplaceable he was to our American story.
Practically no one has been taught in our schools and universities that, contrary to nearly every leader in world history, he willingly gave up power when he could have easily seized it for life.
And practically no one knows where his remarkable story actually began and that his life was miraculously preserved on so many occasions.
These are well documented accounts. And this exceptional movie finally brings them out for all to see.
We are, as a nation, starved of this endless historical reservoir of miracles offering evidence of God’s loving hand when needed most. Fortunately, we now have a movie in theaters depicting these events for all to see.
