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.

The American nation was dying. Everyone could see it.
The South’s leaders, both military and political, were determined to tear apart the United States, breaking up the American continent into several opposing “statelets,” some slave, some free, but all hating each other in perpetuity.
To stop and defeat this Satanic process was, in my mind, why President Abraham Lincoln was born and why he is perhaps the most irreplaceable hero in America’s illustrious past.
In this Episode (Part 2) we will see how the Lord used President Lincoln to save the American Republic and to implement the eternal promises found in the Declaration of Independence that “All men are created equal.”
How he did this was nothing short of miraculous!

We are all at a different place on life’s road. President Abraham Lincoln was not only at a different place, but on an entirely different road!
But the Lord had not forgotten Lincoln, and by extension, us and our great nation during its most trying times. And though Lincoln’s path was as trying as any, Lincoln came to understand that he must, in our behalf, persevere.
God had a mission for him and for the United States of America. This incredible yet forgotten story from America’s past is precisely what we and our children need to hear today.
I guarantee that you will be enlightened and will view our 16th president with even greater respect and admiration…

The Japanese were breaking every code. American Marines were dying by the thousands. Something had to be done.
Then in 1942, 29 young Navajo men from Arizona, including Carl Gorman, stepped forward and volunteered to fight the Japanese. Their contributions ended up saving the lives of thousands of Marines and shortening the war by at least a year.
They were known as the famous Navajo Code Talkers and I became friends with one of the most decorated of the platoon.
This is the story of how I met Carl Gorman, and what I learned from this humble warrior, deep inside the Navajo Reservation back in 1974…
I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.
“Without the heroic contribution of the Navajo Code Talkers the U.S. Marines would not have taken Iwo Jima (critical battle against the Japanese in World War II)” (said Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division’s Intelligence Officer).

Is there anyone who will stand up to the most powerful on behalf of the most vulnerable?
One woman did...
On February 3, 1994, MOTHER TERESA was asked to speak to the gathering of the National Prayer Breakfast, hosted by the Washington, D.C. establishment at the lavish Hilton Hotel in their Grand Ballroom.
And there amid America’s most powerful politicians, CEOs, religious leaders, and celebrities, Mother Teresa delivered a short message that shook them to the core. It was not the feel-good, flattering, apple-polishing message that these elites were used to receiving.
Instead, Mother Teresa called upon these movers-and-shakers to re-evaluate the direction of their lives. But what she said also got her cancelled in the mainstream, legacy media, and the American Elites’ firm determination to never invite her back.
What she offered our nation that day, in my mind, was a revelation from God, delivered through one of His most humble servants on earth. A message that has the power to save the United States of America.

How does one be a Christian soldier? Morally against killing but also wanting to protect the lives of those you love.
There are many examples of people who have showed courage during such difficult times of war and in different ways, and today's episode is discussing one such hero...
ALVIN YORK, perhaps the greatest American hero of World War I, was born into poverty but didn’t realize it until he went off to war.
As an American soldier, Alvin’s Christian beliefs told him that killing was wrong. But when he saw his friends being mowed down by deadly machinegun fire, like the hero he was, he used his exceptional hunting skills to silently flank the enemy dug in above him on a hill. The finest marksman in his platoon, he picked off about 25 enemy officers and men, silencing their machineguns and then capturing 130 German soldiers.
He was awarded the Medal of Honor for saving his platoon in the pivotal Battle of Meuse-Argonne.
But what Alvin York’s service teaches us today, I believe, goes beyond his heroism. For this young man provided the moral logic for us why we must fight tyranny and stand up for the vulnerable and oppressed. In the end, Sergeant York presented to the world the Creed of the American Warrior.

Barely out of her teens, Sophie Scholl stood with her jailer facing the steel and wood contraption of death called the guillotine.
It seemed surreal at first, but then her eyes focused upon the glinting razor-sharp blade and her blood ran cold. Then Sophie felt the rough hand of the jailer on her back, shoving her into the room...
Sophie Scholl, though still a teenager, knew pure evil when she saw it. She created the passive resistance movement White Rose against the Nazis.
Her efforts were gaining momentum when she was suddenly arrested by the Gestapo, the brutal German Secret Police. Her trial was rigged, and she was quickly sentenced to death on the guillotine.
Her final words praising her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: “I will cling to the rope God has thrown to me in Jesus Christ, even when my numb hands can no longer feel.”
Though very young, Sophie spotted this evil almost immediately. And in the end left prison officials marveling. She said in her letters: “Stand up for what you believe, even if you must stand alone….”
One of my greatest heroes will always be Sophie Scholl. Her courage to the end testifies to us all how one person can make a difference in the name of Christ to help rescue the soul of a nation.

“GEORGE WASHINGTON IS TO BE DRAWN AND QUARTERED!”
56 patriots—America’s Colonial leaders—signed our Declaration of Independence.
Think about it, often those with the most to lose courageously stepped forward knowing they would be targeted by the most powerful king on earth.
Courageously they put their name right where King George III could not miss it on the Declaration of Independence.
The Signers all knew the seriousness of signing a document of high treason against the crown.
They knew George the 3rd would condemn them as traitors, subject to not only arrest, but the confiscation of their property.
Then, their summary execution.
But not just any execution. Drawing and quartering was required for traitors, one of the most painful, humiliating, horribly bloody ways to die fashioned by the creative hand of man.
And they weren’t just risking their own lives. The lives of their families also on the block.
This episode details what happened to these 56 Founders, the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Would we, today, be willing to risk it all—including the lives of our families—in the hope of somehow creating a new Republic, built upon the concept of Government of the people, by the people, and for the people?
I think it’s something worth pondering…particularly in our troubled world today.

The Indians called him “The Scalp-Buying General." British Commander Henry Hamilton.
He was the terror of the American Frontier during the American Revolutionary War, hiring the native tribes to collect American scalps and drive out the American settlers in the Ohio River Valley and Kentucky of what was American wilderness in 1779.
One man stood against “The Scalp-Buyer,” the first of America’s Elite Operators, GEORGE ROGERS CLARK led his small company of American Rangers to attack the British holding Fort Vincennes (in what would become Indiana).
Though in the middle of winter in the most miserable of conditions, starving and outnumbered, Colonel Clark and his Rangers outmaneuvered and defeated the British at Fort Vincennes, effectively clearing the British out of what was the American frontier at the time and making these frontier regions safe for American families hoping to settle the West.
A true hero, yet a man few Americans know anything about, training his frontier soldiers to be the first American Rangers and Special Forces operators.

Wondering if there is a way to make a difference when you are "just one person"?
In today's episode we discuss two incredible Shoshoni teenage girls who, despite difficult circumstances, made a BIG impact on our developing country...
Sacajawea and Sally were trailblazers who helped save, and build, this great nation.
Sacajawea is well known for joining and protecting the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803-1806) as they explored the vast and unknown American West.
Sally is lesser known, but every bit the hero, helping open the primitive West, protecting the downtrodden and struggling, trying to bring her people, the Shoshoni, and the newly arriving whites, together in peace.
Along with her husband, the mountain man Elijah Ward, she was successful, though she dedicated her life to serving others and trying to stop the seemingly inevitable wars that ended up taking many lives, both Indian and white, including—tragically—the life of her husband, Elijah.
In the end, Sacajawea and Sally provided an eternal example proving what must be done if Americans hope to live in peace, to prosper and cooperate, and to help set a worthy example for our troubled world.
We need these great women and their inspiring stories, now more than ever!
I’m Rick Robison,
