    103 - "THE TIMES THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS..." | Thomas Paine (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War

    Christmas Day, December 25th 1776. The blinding blizzard swept over the men.   General Washington’s boys gathered, their exhausted, demoralized faces illuminated by a few flickering torches. Clothing torn and threadbare. Feet wrapped against the cold in burlap. You could see it in their eyes, their faith in victory that night was hanging by a thread.   Across the black, ice-choked river awaited a ferocious enemy. Behind them lay weeks of death and humiliating defeat. Then, in the still of night, Thomas Paine’s words were read aloud by an officer:   “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot will shrink from the service of their country… For tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered. But we have this consolation with us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”   Washington’s boys quietly listened, and for the first time in weeks they understood. They would cross that ice-choked river not because victory was assured, but because liberty was worth dying for…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 42 - A PRAYER TO SAVE AMERICA | Benjamin Franklin (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 81 - SHE SAVED 2,500 KIDS FROM THE GAS CHAMBER | Irena Sendler (Polish Undergound) | WWII   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   American Revolution / 1776 / Common Sense / Battle of Trenton / Declaration of Independence

    102 - THE RANGER WHO STRUCK FIRST | Capt. Jack Hays (Texas Ranger) | Mexican War

    Captain Jack Hays and 14 Texas Rangers were riding the frontier when attacked by a large force of Comanche warriors on ponies painted for war. The Rangers were badly outnumbered.   Normally, the sensible response would be to retreat. But Captain Jack Hays ordered his fifteen men, pistols in hand, to gallop directly into the enemy warriors.   The Rangers had recently acquired Colt Paterson revolving, multi-shot pistols. Though primitive by later standards, they were new and deadly on the frontier in 1844. And Captain Jack understood something more. The Comanche did not like surprises.   Up close, the Rangers unleashed rapid pistol fire. The Comanche, never seeing such weapons before, fled.   The outcome enhanced the can-do reputation of the Texas Rangers.   And that was Captain Jack Hays. Always a gentleman, but when danger appeared, something changed in his countenance.   His men discovered their quiet captain possessed extraordinary courage, coolness under fire, and a faith in his ability that could not be stopped...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   93 - "LORD, HELP ME SAVE JUST ONE MORE..." | Desmond Doss (Army Medic + Conscientious Objector) | WWII 86 - THE BULLET JUST MISSED HIS HEART | Ronald Reagan (US President) | 1911-2004 49 - THE SPY CONFEDERATES NEVER SUSPECTED… | Elizabeth “Crazy Bet” Van Lew (Union Spy) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Texas Rangers / Mexican War / Comanches / Republic of Texas / California

    101 - THE HERO WHO BEHEADED A KING | Oliver Cromwell (English Statesman + Soldier) | 1600s

    What England’s King Charles I was charged with was absolutely revolutionary for the time. That royalty was not above the law. That kings could not do whatever they wanted.   Government and kings, Oliver Cromwell and his parliamentary allies argued, existed solely to benefit the people, not simply for personal power, enrichment, or honor. And to press this revolutionary concept, Oliver Cromwell was willing to go to war.   But in the end, after a bloody civil war, the royal forces of King Charles I were defeated and Parliament’s Army, led by Cromwell, prevailed, establishing a Republic and the world would never be the same. King Charles I was beheaded for treason, a first for an English king or queen.   England’s monarch (Charles’ son) would return to England and the Republic Cromwell wanted was later dissolved, but the path to freedom and limiting royal power was set in motion for all time, that Divine concept spreading to the American Colonies.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   93 - "LORD, HELP ME SAVE JUST ONE MORE..." | Desmond Doss (Army Medic + Conscientious Objector) | WWII 87 - YOUNG WASHINGTON: Should You See It?... 🎥 *Movie Review* 78 - SAVING THE UNION AT GETTYSBURG | Gen.

    100 - THE "WHITE MOUSE" THAT ROARED | Nancy Wake (Allied Spy) | WWII

    The German Gestapo were closing in. She felt her heart pounding in her chest.   The Allied spy Nancy Wake crouched in the darkness, listening to the sound of boots shambling through the French countryside. There was not much time…   Nancy Grace Wake would become one of the most decorated Allied servicewomen of World War II. Known as the “White Mouse” for her uncanny ability to evade capture, she transitioned from a cosmopolitan journalist into a high-ranking courier for the French Resistance and, later, a spy in Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE).   Her intelligence, military leadership, and personal skill and bravery made her a pivotal figure in covert Allied operations, particularly in the months leading up to and following the Allies’ D-Day invasion of Nazi occupied Europe.   Yet, throughout her struggle against pure evil, Nancy never forgot who she was fighting and why…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   50 - THE GREAT ESCAPE FROM LIBBY PRISON | Lt.

    The Japanese had no idea the woman entertaining them was using the money they spent at her nightclub to secretly help American prisoners survive the brutal conditions in the POW camps.   That was Claire Maybelle Phillips. The secret American who had turned her nightclub into a weapon of war.   Claire found out that her husband Phil had been captured. She used her skill and bribery to gain access to the American POW camps, trying to help her husband.   But on May 23, 1944, Kempei-Tai (Japanese Secret Police) stormed Club Tsubaki and arrested Claire. For five months she endured brutal torture.   But Claire refused to betray the Philippine Resistance and the American soldiers being held in Japanese prison camps. She would fight to the end hoping that America had not forgotten her…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   50 - THE GREAT ESCAPE FROM LIBBY PRISON | Lt.

    98 - THE JACK REACHER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION | Peter Francisco (Continental Army) | Revolutionary War

    His story of raw strength against impossible odds reveals a hero who history has a hard time explaining. Many wondered if Peter Francisco was an actual human being or something more. Like Biblical Samson, he appeared when needed to help defeat the enemies of freedom.   In 1776, at only sixteen years of age, a boy who began life as an orphan, joined the 10th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army. He fought throughout the war, was wounded many times, but defeated in desperate hand-to-hand combat scores of the enemy, including facing Colonel Banister Tarelton’s Dragoons in a desperate fight, alone, heavily outnumbered.   The British knew of this giant American rebel, and tried to capture or kill him. And though severely wounded and once left for dead, Peter Francisco refused to die.   After the war Peter passed with little of this life’s possessions, though as a veteran and war hero, he died highly respect by his neighbors and friends. The perfect American hero. Unsung, yet honorable to the end.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   82 - HE EXPECTED TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF... | Lt.

    97 - INSPIRING AMERICA'S FOUNDERS... | Algernon Sydney (English Politician) | 1600s

    At dawn King Charles II’s soldiers forced their way into Algernon Sydney’s home in Northumberland, England, charging him with “treason against the Crown.”   Sydney was convicted for his beliefs, his thoughts, for his love of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the common citizen, then marched to the gallows.   But Algernon Sydney’s writings, and the God-given truth he died for, would go on to inspire our Founders who, later, struggling in the face of overwhelming odds, published the Declaration of Independence to a shackled world. Then the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.   Sydney’s works became, in the end, the “Textbook of the American Revolution.”   Thomas Jefferson channeled Algernon Sydney. So did John Adams (and, of course, Abigail Adams).   Sydney’s contribution to freedom—as forgotten a hero as I have known—cannot be overstated. For he helped our Founders discover and embrace the God-given gift of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   32 - THE PURE SON OF LIBERTY | Thaddeus Kosciuszko (Military Engineer) | Revolutionary War 41 - AMERICA'S FATHERLESS, ORPHANED HERO | Alexander Hamilton (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 43 - CREATING AMERICA'S BATTLE HYMN | Julia Ward Howe (Poet/Abolitionist) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Freedom / Personal Liberty / Founding Fathers / American Revolution / Opposing Tyranny

    96 - WHAT 9/11 TEACHES AMERICANS TODAY *Special 25th Anniversary Tribute*

    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.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   84 - 250 YEARS A REPUBLIC: Do We Still Deserve It? 81 - SHE SAVED 2,500 KIDS FROM THE GAS CHAMBER | Irena Sendler (Polish Undergound) | WWII 26 - IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT ANGELS... | *Near-Fatal Personal Experience* | 1950s   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   September 11, 2001 / Terrorism / Firefighters / Police Officers / Unity / Service
