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!

Too often today the Alamo is depicted as a bunch of American white-supremacists who oppressed the local population, hoping to “steal Mexican lands.”
This is tiring, simplistic, and woefully unfair. History rewritten.
Settlers in Texas were promised freedom and independence by the Mexican Government. In the spring of 1836, those who fortified the Alamo against the dictator General Santa Anna were patriots, many born and raised in Texas, native sons. And they understood they might not survive yet willingly stayed and fought to the death.
The Alamo proves the point. Americans will die on their feet rather than live on their knees.
May we remember the Alamo for what it truly stood for—and stands for today. These were free men and women. Never shackled. Fighting to survive just one more day, struggling to subdue a harsh world and burying their children along the way.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness means everything to Texans as it does to all traditional Americans. It’s God-given. And it’s to die for.

On the Pennsylvanian shore of the Delaware River, Washington conceived a desperate plan—to cross back over the river into New Jersey and attack a Hessian garrison of 1,200 men. The Hessians were German mercenaries fighting for the British.
Throughout that frigid night, Glover and his Marbleheaders rowed Washington’s Army across the ice-choked river, thought to be an impossible feat and attacked the Hessian Garrison, killing 100 and taking 900 Hessian soldiers as prisoners.
When the battle ended, General Washington turned to the doctor for his men, General Hugh Mercer, saying: “Hugh, we won a great victory today, but tell me…how many of my boys did I lose? How much did it cost?”
Dr. Mercer looked at his tired, aging commander, saying: “Sir, we didn’t lose any, only a few wounded.”
Washington dropped down on a nearby stool, saying softly: “Oh Lord, my God, another miracle for my little army.”
And there we have Miracle Number 3.

John Glover and his Marblehead Mariners, with seemingly impossible stealth, evacuated Washington’s entire army, all 9,000 men, across the East River onto Manhattan Island in nine hours during a single night!
How that happened became known as the Miracle of the Fog, for just as the British were preparing to attack, the river and shoreline were blanketed in a thick fog that “came out of nowhere” so that “men could not see ten feet ahead.”
By dawn, and then into midmorning, the mysterious fogbank suddenly disappeared, but not until every American and their weapons and equipment, were safely evacuated.
The British commander, General Howe, was at first disbelieving, then he seethed with frustration. He’d had Washington in his grasp, and just like that, he’d slipped away.
But to General Washington, he knew who to thank. For God had given him all they needed, the perfect cover Colonel Glover’s Marblehead Mariners would exploit the fullest.

John Glover and his Marblehead Mariners, with seemingly impossible stealth, evacuated Washington’s entire army, all 9,000 men, across the East River onto Manhattan Island in nine miraculous hours during a SINGLE night!
But it would never have happened without one often ignored event which I see as nothing short of divine intervention. For just as the British were preparing to attack, the river and shores were quickly blanketed in a thick fog that “men could not see ten feet ahead.”
At least two more miracles would follow that dark and deadly year of 1776. And in the midst of the fray was found Colonel John Glover, a blunt and plainspoken American who few people liked, but everyone respected.
Thank you, John Glover, for your sacrifice and determination to never place personal gain ahead of the creation and preservation of the most important Republic in history.
Your Legacy will live as long as there are voices free to tell your story and to proclaim your divinely guided victories.

Most Americans do not know that Abraham Lincoln, when elected president, went from “apostate to prophet” all in those critical four years of the Civil War.
And helping along his miraculous conversion was a humble, yet highly capable, Army nurse by the name of Rebecca Pomroy.
What she was able to accomplish with the Lincoln Family in the White House that dreadful winter of 1862 changed the course of history.
This is the often-ignored story of the genuine miracle a long-suffering Christian woman offered to Abraham and Mary Lincoln, a miracle “cure” for not only their son Tad, but also Mary and the President himself.
In the process she helped save the American Republic and emancipate America’s slaves, accomplishing what the pundits of the time thought could never be done!

We have reached a milestone in America’s beloved past. The 249th and 250th year anniversary of this grand experiment in republicanism, in self-government, but mostly in individual freedom.
But, ironically, as of late, we are facing the gravest challenge we have ever faced. And the danger, tragically, is coming from within.
Now is the time to look beyond the propaganda and embrace the true history of American greatness, a nation where our Founders “offered their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor” in the cause of liberty.
This was a gathering of men and women unlike any in history. I thank the Lord every day that such men and women were willing to step forward at great personal risk.
And as we celebrate 250 years from these sacred events, I hope and pray that we as a nation will be worthy of, and grateful for, their Divinely inspired sacrifice in our behalf.

The massive British Army under the command of General John Burgoyne, was rushing to attack and destroy Washington’s Continental Army.
The Americans needed time to prepare.
And young Thaddeus with his unique skills would give the Americans that time.
Moving fast with his engineers and rangers, Thaddeus and his team cut trees in the path of the British, laid out traps and ambushes, built dams to flood the streams and rivers making the trails and roads ahead of the British Army impassable.
The British Army went from covering 60 miles per day to less than two! Bogged down, the powerful and proud British and Hessian forces suddenly found themselves the prey.
And at the ensuing Battle of Saratoga, the American Continental Army defeated the British soundly in the turning point in America’s War for Independence, much credited to a young immigrant to America who served without pay, fame, or glory.
His name was THADDEUS KOSCIUSZKO one of the least known, yet critical American Patriots from our illustrious past. This is his story…

On a sweltering July day in 1863, the quiet town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania exploded!
This tiny hamlet became the center of the decisive battle for the world’s most pivotal nation locked passionately in its final death throes.
The clash between North and South would decide the fate not only of our nation, but by extension, the world.
It would be a horribly bloody three-days producing more than 51,000 casualties—mostly young men—husbands, sons, fathers, and brothers.
And on that critical day, an unknown professor from Maine—JOSHUA LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN—who was anything but a professional soldier—a bit spindly and way too intellectual—would etch his name into the annuals of freedom forever…

“I will get my hands on that American woman and destroy her!”
This was the threat of Klaus Barbie, the local Gestapo chief, known as the “Butcher of Lyon.”
The powers of hell seemed to be gathering all around young Virginia Hall. She was simply out of time.
More so, thousands of young American Rangers would be soon landing on the beaches of Normandy. She and her resistance fighters must help prepare the way or thousands would die.
She and her men had to act immediately to cut railway lines, blow up bridges, change road signs, cut phonelines, all the while knowing that the German secret police, the infamous Gestapo, was closing in on her hiding place…

They loved each other for 54 years.
Even as Abigail lay on her deathbed, John sat by her holding her hand.
They had been through everything together—declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth, the American Revolution, creating a great republic from a divided people, opposing slavery, representing the United States abroad, and then the American presidency.
Abigail and John were a team, perhaps the most important in the history of this country. And what they accomplished changed the course of history, not only for this land, but for the world.
