America is going through some dark days right now -- true. But America has never just been a plot of land; it's always been something more. It's always been a spirit -- and a spirit can't be killed. Perhaps it's time to focus more on selling the dream of America, and less on talking up the doom. Even with all the threats to freedoms, there is much to admire and love about this country. If someone were to ask you, 'what's so great about America, anyway?' -- would you have an answer at the ready? You should be able to rattle off 10, 20, 30 or more things without even thinking. If you can't, then perhaps it's time to refocus and think less on the doom and more on the dream. Major Scott Huesing, USMC retired, agrees, and his endeavor, Save the Brave, advances just that notion -- despite the fact it's a campaign aimed at drawing awareness to veterans' suicides.

Scott Huesing is a retired United States Marine Corps infantry major with 24 years of honorable service. He planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions over the course of 10 deployments. Scott is executive director at the Save the Brave nonprofit organization whose goal is to support and connect veterans through outreach programs. While morale, recruitment, and veteran support are down, veteran suicides are way up. Hear how Scott Huesing and Save the Brave are trying to change that on this episode of "Rick & Bubba University"!
