AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on this year's recipients of the Congressional Gold Medal, a military unit who were recently celebrated in a movie for Netflix.

 In World War II, an all women of color battalion solved an enormous backlog of mail between the homefront and the battlefront. Now, they're finally getting recognition with a Congressional Gold Medal. Then, land ravaged by a flash flood in 2013 becomes a budding fruit orchard in Lyons to give back to the community. Plus, training to fight wildfires from the air, the decades-long effort to bring clean water to southern Colorado, and a furniture bank furnishes new starts. 

James Thompson joined the U.S. Army in 1948, in part to avoid the consequences for his troubled behavior. Soon he was off to segregated training at Ft. Dix, New Jersey. Within a few months, Thompson was deployed to Europe, where he and the other troops were able to gain valuable training experience.The deployment was cut short, forces were brought home, and then they were shipped off to Japan. It was there that Thompson was assigned to the Buffalo Soldiers, all-Black service members in the 24th regiment of the 25th infantry division.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Thompson reflects on entering a segregated Army and how he didn't even know about President Truman's orders to desegregate the Armed Forces until years later because so little had changed. He also takes us inside his first combat experience at Ushon in Korea and how important it was to be a quick learner in combat. Thompson also tells about how he was wounded in 1951 and forced to go home because of his injuries. Finally, he recounts the impressive record of the Buffalo Soldiers in Korea and explains why he's still working hard for his unit to receive a Congressional Gold Medal.

In 1954, the Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawed segregation in public education. Ernest Green was the first African American to graduate from Little Rock Central High School (May, 1958). In celebration of Black History Month, revisit Ryan's 2023 conversation with Ernest Green from 2023 about his experience as one of the first African-American students to integrate at Little Rock Central High School in 1957, why we should strive to disprove backwards thinking, how we must change as a country, and more.Ernest Green is one of the Little Rock Nine, a group of African-American students who, in 1957, were the first black students ever to attend classes at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Green was the first African-American to graduate from the school in 1958. In 1999, he and the other members of the Little Rock Nine were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by President Bill Clinton.

The incredible story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, nicknamed the Six Triple Eight, recently came to the Bush Center. The program followed the release of Netflix's The Six Triple Eight, a film that tells the story of WWII's only Women's Army Corps unit of color. The Engage at the Bush Center program presented by NexPoint featured, former U.S. Ambassador Nicole Avant, best-selling author and critically acclaimed producer of the Netflix film; Milauna Jackson who portrays Captain Campbell in the Netflix film; and Retired Army Col. Edna Cummings, a passionate advocate whose work led to two important recognitions: the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Monument and the Congressional Gold Medal.Related: Watch the Engage at the Bush Center program presented by NexPoint hereRead The Unsung Story of the Six Triple Eight from a Veteran Leadership Scholar's perspective

On Monday we talked with Clyde Lewis about 286 and its seemingly random association with Luigi Mangione. This is an insurance denial code, the number of posts on Luigis X before deactivation, the Pokémon number of Breloom on his profile, and the distance between his arrest and the assassination, and now is compounded by the fact there were 286-287 days, down to hours, between the United Health Group security breach back on February 21 and the assassination of Brian Thompson on December 4. Further compounding this is June 28, or 628 - insurance awareness day. Changing reports on bullet casings, manifestoes, distance between locations, etc. is creating an even more paranoid and delusional population.The shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday added to the issue at hand. CNN reported at 12:51pm MST that 2 were killed, while Yahoo!News reported 3 dead before changing the headline again. Authorities on the scene, however, reported 5 were dead before revising the total to 3. The drone story on the east coast of the United States is similar, with people blaming Russia, China, Iran, aliens, etc., in league with the Twilight Zone episode ‘Monsters Are Due on Maple Street'. In the modern era, a lot of this began after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. More recent assassinations, not only of Brian Thompson, but of OpenAI's Suchir Balaji and Boeing's Josh Dean and John Barnett, are fueling an endless supply of conspiracy theories and calls for violent revolutionary political activism. The Kennedy story has persisted over generations because of the inconsistency of reports, outlandish narratives, fake evidence, and unbelievable official statements. It's almost as if the true purpose of the public assassination was to drive the populace crazy.Perhaps the most celebrated psyop was in World War II, when the so-called U.S. Ghost Army outwitted the Germans using inflatable tanks, radio trickery, costumes and impersonations. In what was dubbed Operation Viersen, the soldiers used the inflatables, sound trucks and phony headquarters to draw German units away from the point on the Rhine River where the 9th Army was actually crossing. Several of the last surviving members of the unit were recently awarded the Congressional Gold Medal at a ceremony in Washington.Psyop units are used for an array of missions that can range from simple leaflet drops to more sophisticated propaganda and messaging aimed at deceiving the enemy or shaping opinion on foreign soil. It's illegal for the U.S. military to conduct psychological operations on Americans.The 4th Psychological Operations Group at Fort Liberty in North Carolina somewhat recently released a video with cryptic messages and eerie statements, including “Behind every choice .... invisible hands,” “Behind every emotion, fire. Do you believe in the power of words and ideas. .. We believe.”Never knowing what is true, living on emotion, and being beholden to words and ideas seems to have driven the public into mass psychosis.Now, after all these years, a recent Vanity Fair article is perhaps suggesting yet another angle to the Kennedy assassination. One that is in line with a recent documentary called JFK X. Ryder Lee joins us for a discussion.

Inflatable tanks. Phony uniforms. Fake radio traffic. In early 1944, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the “Ghost Army,” was founded, and its ragtag collection of artists, Soldiers and engineers oversaw almost two-dozen “deception missions” that saved the lives of an estimated 30,000 Soldiers. In March of this year, their work was recognized with the Congressional Gold Medal. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with author and historian Rick Beyer to discuss the story and exploits of the Ghost Army and his decade-long journey to see that the unit received the Gold Medal—and then they are joined by a surviving Ghost Army Soldier, PVT (Ret.) Seymour Nussenbaum. Sadly, Mr. Nussenbaum passed away shortly after our recording. He died on October 5, 2024, at the age of 101.   Guests: Rick Beyer, Author, The Ghost Army of World War II: How One Top-Secret Unit Deceived the Enemy with Inflatable Tanks, Sound Effects, and Other Audacious Fakery PVT (Ret.)

During this America at a Crossroads program, Patt Morrison, veteran LA Timescolumnist and winner of a Pulitzer, many Golden Mikes and multiple EmmyAwards, will engage January 6 Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn in conversationabout the January 6 insurrection. Dunn has been one of the most prominent andessential voices regarding the truth of what happened in and around the Capitolon January 6.Harry Anthony Dunn served in the United States Capitol Police and was one of many police officers present during the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. During the attack, Dunn was stationed outside the Capitol. Once the Capitol was breached, Dunn was called inside to guard a stairwell with injured officers and to guard Speaker Pelosi's office. He interacted with rioters extensively that day. Officer Dunn testified in front of the House Select January 6 Committee. He also testified at the 2022 trial of the Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy for their actions relating to the Capitol attack. Dunn's heroic conduct on January 6 earned him a Congressional Gold Medal.Officer Dunn recently wrote a NY Times best-selling memoir entitled Standing MyGround which has been called a “must-read.”This is sure to be a stimulating and informative hour intended to provide insight into the insurrection from the perspective of someone whose fists were bloodied and whose life was threatened on that dark day.

Something seismic just happened in professional baseball. For over half a century, records from the Negro Leagues had been kept separate from Major League Baseball. In May 2024, MLB announced that statistics from the Negro Leagues would now be incorporated into the record books. Inspired by the long overdue correction, C-SPAN's "The Weekly" is incorporating the Negro Leagues into this week's podcast. It's C-SPAN's "The Weekly" annual baseball episode. And this year, following the death of legend Willie Mays, we're doing something special – we'll hear presidents and politicians honor the towering baseball players who got their start in the Negro Leagues. Among the presidents and politicians and players in this podcast: • President Obama remarks on Willie Mays • President Obama remarks on Ernie Banks • President Bush remarks on Buck O'Neil • President Bush remarks on Jackie Robinson • President Bush remarks on Hank Aaron • President Clinton remarks on Hank Aaron • President Biden remarks on Satchel Paige • Sen. Chuck Schumer remarks on Willie Mays • Sen. Mitch McConnell remarks on Larry Doby • Rep. Hakeem Jeffries remarks on Jackie Robinson • Rep. Terri Sewell remarks on Rickwood Field • Rep. J.C. Watts remarks on the Negro Leagues What did the presidents and politicians say about these baseball legends? Which players got the Presidential Medal of Freedom? Which players got the Congressional Gold Medal? And which baseball great who started in the Negro Leagues ended up with a standing ovation in a State of the Union address?

So much to discuss after the trade deadline! Let's get into it.  Scott and Kim will be doing an event in LA with the LA County Dept of Public Health Peer Resource Center on Thursday, August 15th - sign up at the link in our bio! Then, we welcome JJ Wetherholt to the AIB Cinematic Universe (thank you to listener Paul Kuo for the tip!) and chat exciting Asians in 2025 news.  The trade deadline was chaotic as always! The high: Tommy Edman to the Dodgers. The low: Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros. The shock: a lot of DFAs over the past few months. But a tie at the top of the Asians in Baseball team leaderboards! Quick injury report, but not without a big L. Christian Yelich avoids back surgery but will miss time to rehab, Bo Bichette returns to the IL, and Kodai Senga exits his season debut with a high grade calf strain that will take him out for the rest of the year.  In position player news, we get into the Cardinals new HR celebration, Masataka Yoshida's strong showing, Seiya Suzuki's interpreter is fired, and Kyle Higashioka receives a replica Congressional Gold Medal on behalf of his grandfather, and we discuss the history behind it.  In pitching news, Joey Cantillo makes his long-awaited debut (though against the Phillies), Bryan Woo leaves his last start but isn't expected to miss time, and Sean Manaea is dealing with a season high 11SO. And finally, Ohtani Talk. Don't worry about this man. He's still securely in MVP talks despite only being an DH, is predicted to make over $100 million in endorsement deals this year, and hits a homer at Minute Maid Park that leaves even Astros fans speechless.  Upcoming LA event: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=SHJZBzjqG0WKvqY47dusgfaHvggm-jpCryAOtkYWBH9UMDdNV05ZNlYwMVROTU1EM0NUQlU0V0lJQy4u Scott's Substack: https://rscottokamoto.substack.com/p/shohei-ohtanis-legacy-for-me-begins Cubs' Tokyo series video: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kmZlZRXb3/ Press release about Kyle Higashioka: https://tinyurl.com/u8cs5t3f

At the height of World War II, American military commanders created a unit dedicated to deception to give Allied forces an advantage on the battlefield.  The artists, sound technicians, and radio operators of the so-called Ghost Army remained hidden for decades, but filmmaker Rick Beyer made sure their stories were told. Beyer is a New York Times best-selling author, an award-winning documentary producer, and a long-time history enthusiast. His independent documentary, “The Ghost Army,” premiered on PBS in 2013. It tells the story of an extraordinary WWII unit that used creativity and illusion to fool the Germans. He also co-authored a bestselling book on the unit, and is president of the Ghost Army Legacy Project, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and honoring the legacy of the unit. He spearheaded the lobbying effort that convinced Congress to award the unit a Congressional Gold Medal. Beyer has produced numerous other documentaries and is the author of the popular “Greatest Stories Never Told” series of history books. He has written for Politico, The Hill, the History Channel Magazine, America in WWII and other publications. Beyer also co-hosts the “History Happy Hour” livestream with Chris Anderson, which can be seen live every Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET on the “History Happy Hour” Facebook and YouTube pages and is now available as a podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a child, MG (Ret.) Antonio Taguba knew his father had been involved in the Bataan Death March – but it wasn't until the older man's dying days that General Taguba learned the full extent of it. That conversation inspired him to play a leading role in shining a spotlight on this dark moment of WWII, eventually leading to veterans of the battle and Death March receiving the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with General Taguba to discuss his own Army origin story, the historical events of April 1942, and why he still travels across the country to deliver the Gold Medals to survivors and veterans every year.   Guest: MG (Ret.)

Today's poem is by Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963), an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in the United States. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech,[2] Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.Frequently honored during his lifetime, Frost is the only poet to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution".[3] He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont.—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
