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.

“Give me liberty or give me death!” So said Patrick Henry to a divided America, fearful of standing for independence.
But stand they did.
250 years ago this year, a small group of seemingly ordinary men did something extraordinary. They signed their names to the Declaration of Independence…risking everything!
“Their lives. Their fortunes. Their sacred honor.”
And they didn’t do it for fame or glory.
They did it for you.
Today in 2026 that promise miraculously lives on. But it could easily die if not nurtured, fought for, but most of all, taught to our children and grandchildren!
In the iconic words of President Ronald Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Let us honor our heroes by making ourselves worthy of what they so freely gave us. For without them, we would not recognize our world today. Without them, you would not recognize yourself!

In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, Daniel Boone was captured by the Shawnee Indians.
Though a prisoner, he studied their language. When he learned of an impending attack on Boonesborough that was encouraged, supplied, and paid for by the British, he escaped the Shawnee village.
Running 160 miles in five days, he warned the settlement.
The siege that followed was one of Daniel Boone’s finest hours. Heavily outnumbered and low on food and supplies, Boone led the defense of the fort with calm and capable resolve.
The settlers held out until the Shawnee attackers, and their British advisors, withdrew. Boonesborough survived, and Boone’s reputation soared.
Yet fame did not bring him fortune. The unscrupulous took advantage of him. He always believed a handshake should be good enough.
He would, however, end up surrendering his claims to unscrupulous lawyers and move farther west. In Daniel Boone’s mind, there was always more land, a God-given blessing just waiting to be won.
Still, his incredible legacy remains, changing the course of American history...

Private Audie Murphy, just over five feet tall and 17-years-old, would become the most decorated American soldier of World War II.
But his war record of unbelievable courage and fighting skill did not begin with the war. It began with family hardship and personal tragedy.
His courage came from a deeply personal place. He simply refused to abandon those who depended on him.
His list of battlefield heroics reads like a movie…or a myth.
By war’s end, now First Lieutenant Audie Murphy had earned every single U.S. combat award for valor. Several of them multiple times. He was wounded more than three times.
At war’s end, now a hardened veteran, he was just twenty years old…not old enough to vote or drink!
But America hailed him a hero. His photo filled the newspapers. And, of course, Hollywood came calling.
But though it was officially over, the war did not so easily end within his heart and soul…

The iron door slammed shut with a dull thud. The torchlight wavered as the Roman guards stepped back from the cell.
Inside, kneeling on cold stone was a man who was scourged, blood dripping from his torn back. Shackles bit into his wrists and ankles. He awaited the executioner’s heavy sword.
Issuing from the Emperor’s palace the “justice” of Rome—proud, powerful, pitiless—had determined the man’s fate before he could say a word in his own defense.
What’s worse, his crime was not treason, theft, or violence.
It was love.
The Latin name of the man Caesar was putting to death was Valenteenus. We know him today as Saint Valentine.
His rebellion nearly 2,000 years ago against Rome’s edict outlawing marriages among all men of military age stands as an example particularly valid today.
And the why makes Valentine’s Day all that more important…

It’s hard to find an American frontiersman with greater skill than Kit Carson.
He left home as a young teen. By his early twenties, he was already a seasoned, well-known, mountain man. He spoke Ute, Shoshoni, Navajo, Apache, Comanche, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Paiute, as well as fluent in Spanish.
During the Mexican War, Carson famously snuck through enemy lines running 30 miles barefoot to get help. He earned a well-deserved reputation for calm bravery under fire.
Later, during the Civil War, Carson served as a Union officer in the New Mexico Territory, leading campaigns against hostile tribes to protect the civilian population.
At the Battle of Adobe Walls against a massive force of up to 3,000 Comanche and Kiowa warriors, Carson, with only 400 men, was able to repel the enemy and conduct a strategic retreat saving nearly all his men from what most thought would be a certain massacre.
Kit Carson remains a controversial American hero. In this episode we reveal why…

On the day of their execution, Vibia and Felicity were led into the arena.
Vibia was forced to wear a pagan costume, one that a priestess-prostitute in the pagan temples would wear. She tore the pagan robes off her body declaring she had come freely in the name of her Lord and God.
Then, the gates were opened. An enraged, tormented cow charged them.
Vibia Perpetua, trying to protect Felicity, was hurled into the air, landing violently on her back. She rolled to her knees and gathered her clothing around her trying to preserve her modesty.
Bleeding and shaken, she stood once more, still protecting Felicity.
The crowd was touched by Vibia’s courage. Just moments before they were a screaming mob with blood in their eyes. Now they stood to honor her, many with tears on their cheeks.
To the last, Vibia Perpetua demonstrated her determination to stand for her faith, for truth, no matter the consequences.

Though wounded, Lieutenant Matt Urban forced himself to stand.
German machine-gun fire tore at the ground around him. His men were pinned down. A tank lurched forward in a grinding whine, its guns swiveling at them, hunting targets. Matt ignored the pain and the blood spreading on his side, snatching up a bazooka.
He dropped to one knee, sighted and fired. The rocket sizzled on its deadly path, the tank bursting into flames, the shape-charge boring a neat, glowing hole through four inches of hardened steel. Matt rallied his men, pulling wounded soldiers to safety.
Then he was hit again. Beyond what seemed humanly possible, he fought on for three more days until his body finally gave out.
The kind of courage Matt Urban showed against impossible odds was something his superiors had a hard time explaining, or the enemy accepting. But in Matt’s case, it was just who he was, accomplishing what witnesses that day could not believe…

Across the muddy plain the thunder of Ottoman drums rolled like an approaching storm.
The mightiest empire on earth did not come to negotiate. They came north to conquer and enslave.
100,000 of the Turkish Sultan’s best troops would attack the Christians at Vaslui in the heart of Moldavia. A decisive moment in Christian history.
Standing in opposition to the Sultan’s army was one man—Stephen III of Moldavia.
He was not tall, not wealthy, a humble man who loved his people. For Stephen possessed a rare trait. He embraced a powerful faith in Christ that refused to bow a knee to tyranny or let the world’s greedy despots enslave his people.
For more than four critical decades in the 15th century, Stephen stood as a living bulwark between Ottoman expansion and the salvation of Christian Europe.
More so to us today, the lessons he taught are precisely what we must learn…before it’s too late.

The Japanese high command assumed Wake Island would fall easily. On December 11, a Japanese invasion force steamed confidently toward the island. They expected the Americans to surrender without a fight.
That’s not what happened.
In December 1941, when America reeled from the Pearl Harbor defeat and one defeat after another across the Pacific, the Battle for Wake Island by this handful of courageous Americans stood as a victory every American could look to for inspiration.
“Remember Wake Island” became the cry of the American people in much the same way that “Remember the Alamo” had been shouted by soldiers under the command of General Sam Houston a century earlier.
And America remembered. What Wake Island told the world was unmistakable:
Though America was betrayed and wounded by their Japanese enemy, it was not beaten. And through sheer force of grit and raw courage, America would go on to victory.

The most defining moment in World War II.
The surrounded and trapped 101st Airborne Division in the Belgian town of Bastogne was about to be slaughtered by a massive German Army during the Battle of the Bulge.
But that was something General George Patton would not allow.
Virtually overnight he pulled his 3rd Army out of heavy fighting in the south, in France, and raced with his tanks northward 100 miles, slugging it out with the German Army.
But could he reach and rescue the men of the American 101st Airborne in time…?
Patton was perhaps America’s most capable general. Though politically incorrect, in war he was always prepared and absolutely fearless. In moments when nations tremble and armies falter, Patton was the kind of leader every country hopes they have on their side.
Because of heroes like General George S. Patton, such a capable protector, America’s freedom was defended and preserved.
