    81 - SHE SAVED 2,500 KIDS FROM THE GAS CHAMBER | Irena Sendler (Polish Undergound) | WWII

    Before dawn the sound of jackboots thudded on the outside steps, then a fist pounded her door.   “Gestapo! Open up!”   Inside the humble Warsaw apartment, a young Polish woman stood very still.   Beneath her floorboards were forged documents. In a jar were hundreds of names of Jewish children smuggled out into different Christian homes under false identities.   If the Germans found that list, those children and the families protecting them, would die.   Irena Sendler straightened her shoulders and smoothed her dress. She opened the door.   “I am Irena Sendler. What can I do for you…?”   Irena’s mission seemed impossible: To smuggle Jewish children out of the ghetto past German checkpoints and then place them with Christian families beyond the reach of the death camps.   But convincing parents to let her take their children was often the hardest part.   As expected, many parents refused.   But a few, with trembling hands and unimaginable courage would kiss their children goodbye and then place them in Irena’s loving, capable arms…   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:   30 - THE AMERICAN SUPERSPY | Virginia Hall "The Limping Lady" (Anti-Nazi Resistance) | WWII 28 - SHE SAVED HUNDREDS...WITH GOD'S HELP | Harriet Tubman (Abolitionist) | Underground Railroad/Civil War 11 - "STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE...

    80 - "WOMEN CAN'T BE SURGEONS!" | Mary Walker (Union Doctor) | Civil War

    Gunfire ripped through the Georgia air. Smoke rolled low across the shattered battlefield of downed and dying men.   The wounded lay everywhere; blue and gray uniforms tangled together in mud and blood. Confederate reinforcements advanced. Battered Union troops pulled back.   Yet in the chaos, a lone female figure moved towards the danger instead of away from it.   She wore men’s trousers, hardly the approved dress of a 19th-century lady.   Dr. Mary Walker embodied a special quality that originated from that unique period in America’s history. The passion to choose practicality and efficiency over comfortable conformity.   Bullets snapped past her ears. A shell burst behind her, showering dirt across her back. That didn’t matter to her.   Time and again she defied orders to stay back, to remain “safe.” She would go where other doctors refused. And she treated both friend and foe, as well as local civilians, men, women, and children.   And on that day in 1864, near Chattanooga, Tennessee, she would be captured by the enemy…   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:   77 - HER CRIME WAS SAVING OTHERS... | Edith Cavell (Nurse) | WWI 34 - THE DAY AN ANGEL APPEARED IN THE WHITE HOUSE | Rebecca Pomroy (Army Nurse) | Civil War 15 - FROM APOSTATE TO PROPHET | Abraham Lincoln | Civil War (Part ONE)   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   Surgeon / Civil War / Union Army / 1860s / Woman Doctor / Army Surgeon / Union Rebel

    79 - WITHOUT MORALITY... FREEDOM DIES | 300 Spartans | Ancient Greece (480 BC)

    History proves that “You can’t have freedom without genuine morality.”   In 480 BC, the Persian Empire’s tyrant, King Xerxes I, launched a massive invasion of Greece intending to enslave the world.   Standing against Persia was King Leonidas and his famed 300 Spartans. The stakes: the freedom of Greece and by extension, greater Europe.   The Spartans held as long as possible before fighting to the last man.   Though a tactical defeat, because of the selfless sacrifice of the Spartan defenders, the West rallied. Thermopylae became a great moral victory.   So, why does this matter today?   God-given, inherent, unalienable freedom of the individual is a Western, particularly Christian, concept.   Besides Israel, only nations influenced by the Greeks have ever embraced the idea. As the great philosopher, Leo Strauss tells us: It’s Athens and Jerusalem. Everything else is just commentary.   History proves that individual liberty comes from God through Christianity and Western Tradition. And without Judeo-Christian morality, freedom withers on the vine, history so testifies.   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:   63 - THE YOUNG MOTHER SACRIFICED FOR CHRIST | Vibia Perpetua (Noblewoman & Christian Convert) | Roman Empire 27 - "THE HAMMER" WHO SAVED CHRISTIANITY | Charles Martel ("Knights of Our Lord" Leader) | 700s A.D. 19 - RESCUING CHRISTIANITY FROM CERTAIN DEATH | The Winged Hussars (Christian Knights) | 1600s   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   300 / Spartans / Athens / Persian Wars / Freedom / Morality / Battle of Marathon / Thermopylae / Ancient Greece / Sacrifice / Service / Freedom / Liberty

    78 - SAVING THE UNION AT GETTYSBURG | Gen. John Buford (Army) | Civil War

    For hours, General John Buford’s cavalry delayed wave after wave of the best troops the Confederates had, skillfully trading space for time, falling back stubbornly, but keeping to the critical heights.   Carbines cracked, artillery boomed, and horses flattened their ears in the chaos of battle.   One of the finest horsemen in the Union Army, John Buford rode calmly among his men, encouraging them, directing fire, refusing to yield.   He suffered many casualties that day. But his goal was not glory or victory. It was time.   Later that day, just as Buford’s men were about to be overwhelmed, Union heavy infantry arrived. They moved in and occupied the heights Buford’s cavalry had protected with their lives.   And they held.   The Battle of Gettysburg—and the fate of our nation—turned on the judgment and courage of one warfighter who understood the value of terrain, timing, and sacrifice.   Historians widely agree that without John Buford’s foresight and action, the Battle of Gettysburg—the pivotal battle of the Civil War—would have been lost before it began.   Despite his achievements, however, John Buford never lived to see victory...   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:   52 - THE UNION'S "INFANT" HERO WHO WOULDN'T GO HOME | Johnny Clem (9yrs) | Civil War *VETERAN'S DAY SPECIAL* 49 - THE SPY CONFEDERATES NEVER SUSPECTED… | Elizabeth “Crazy Bet” Van Lew (Union Spy) | Civil War 40 - 3 MUST-SEE MOVIES FOR SEEKERS OF TRUTH | WWII, Civil War, Vietnam War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Civil War / Cavalry / Gettysburg / Sacrificing for Freedom / West Point / Union Army

    77 - HER CRIME WAS SAVING OTHERS... | Edith Cavell (Nurse) | WWI

    At the beginning of World War I, a network of civilians in German occupied Belgium began hiding British and French soldiers and guiding them toward neutral Holland.   But they needed help. Someone they could trust.   Edith Cavell volunteered because that’s who she was.   Her nursing school in Brussels became more than a hospital. Secretly she hid British and French soldiers in her attic, cellar, and spare rooms.   She provided civilian clothing, food, and medicine. She coordinated with the Resistance to guide these escaping soldiers into neutral Holland under cover of darkness.   Of course, it was dangerous work.   The German military threatened to punish those helping escaping enemy soldiers, decreeing that anyone assisting fugitives would be executed as a traitor.   Still Edith continued to help the underground, a responsibility she took most seriously.   Over a year’s time, she helped save more than 200 Allied soldiers to escape to England, to home and freedom.   But each knock on the door she knew could be her last…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 30 - THE AMERICAN SUPERSPY | Virginia Hall "The Limping Lady" (Anti-Nazi Resistance) | WWII 28 - SHE SAVED HUNDREDS...WITH GOD'S HELP | Harriet Tubman (Abolitionist) | Underground Railroad/Civil War 12 - THE CHRISTIAN WHO FOUGHT LIKE A LION | Sgt.

    76 - AMERICA'S SPARTANS | The Maryland 400 (Soldiers) | Revolutionary War

    In August 1776, General George Washington’s army faced annihilation at the Battle of Long Island.   British General William Howe executed a brilliant flanking maneuver, trapping the inexperienced American forces against the East River.   The fate of the Revolution hung by a thread.   Standing in the path of thousands of advancing British and Hessian troops was the First Maryland Regiment, fewer than 400 mostly young men.   They launched a series of desperate bayonet charges delaying the enemy. Again and again, six times in all, they advanced into overwhelming enemy fire.   Nearly all were killed, but their sacrifice bought precious time for General Washington.   Their stand allowed thousands of American troops to escape to Brooklyn Heights. Under cover of a rare and providential fog, Washington successfully evacuated his entire army across the river.   Though they did not win the battle, the Marylanders saved the army, and with it, the Revolution.   Like the Spartans of old, their courage and sacrifice preserved the cause of liberty, ensuring America’s fight for independence would continue.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 06 - THE SLAVE WHO HELPED SAVE AMERICA | James Armistead Lafayette (American Spy) | Revolutionary War 23 - THE FEARLESS "WAR WOMAN" | Nancy Hart (Patriot) | Revolutionary War 60 - THE BATTLE FOR WAKE ISLAND: AMERICA’S SECOND ALAMO | U.S. Marines | WWII     ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Revolutionary War / Major Mordecai Gist / Washington / Battle of New York / Saving the Revolution / American Continental Army

    75 - DOES AMERICA NEED A PERFECT PRESIDENT? | Andrew Jackson (General & President) | War of 1812

    President and General Andrew Jackson was many things to many people.   Most of all he was a man of boundless energy who captured the presidency despite being the consummate Washington outsider.   He was one of history’s greatest generals, winning a victory at the Battle of New Orleans (against all odds) that most fail to realize likely saved the interior of the country from continued British encroachment, linking the heartland and the far west with British holdings in Canada.   Many tried to kill the man. He survived at least one assassination attempt while in office, and he did it in a miraculous way.   His wife was rejected by the leading women of Washington as a “loose woman,” labeled “low status” by the elite.   While generally disrespected by the wealthy, he saved the country from Civil War in the 1830s and corrected the American banking system.   And finally, he left Washington at the end of his presidency with only $100 in his pocket refusing to use his position of power to enrich himself and his cronies...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   29 - ROMANCING THE REVOLUTION | Abigail & John Adams | Revolutionary War 41 - AMERICA'S FATHERLESS, ORPHANED HERO | Alexander Hamilton (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 48 - "WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY...

    74 - HE REFUSED TO ABANDON THE ALAMO | Lt. James Bonham (Soldier & Courier) | 1836

    It is hard to understand the true nature of the sacrifice of the Alamo in American and Texas history without looking at the life and service of one of its stalwart defenders.   His name, James Butler Bonham, truly one of the least known, yet most devoted soldiers who fought to the death defending the eleven women and nine children who were also in the Alamo that fateful day of March 6, 1836.   Lieutenant Bonham was young with his whole life ahead of him. But when given the chance to flee to safety and to avoid the final slaughter, he chose to return to the fort and stand with its defenders.   He called them his brothers, and the example he set for us today is as worthy as any we might look to in the history of this illustrious nation.   James Bonham’s actions testify that the freedoms we often take for granted today are never free and never have been.   Someone has paid…and paid dearly.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   38 - THE ALAMO'S DIVINE SECRET | The Battle of the Alamo | 1836 64 - FACING THE GREAT UNKNOWN...
