  More than twenty thousand Hispanic Americans served in the Civil War. When Cuban-born Loreta Velázquez's husband would not allow her to join him on the battlefield, she assumed the role of First Lieutenant Harry T. Buford to be near him. Philip Bazaar, born in Chile, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous exploits during the assault of Fort Fisher. The spying efforts of Floridian Maria Dolores Sánchez and her two sisters led to a Union defeat at the Battle of Horse Landing.    Delving into the lives of these individuals, historian A.J. Schenkman, author of Hispanic Americans of the Civil War, published by the History Press in 2025, uncovers this often-overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Hispanic soldiers came from different countries. Mexico had declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and later abolished slavery in 1837. Some soldiers and sailors traced their families to Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were still part of Spain. Or from Spain itself or its other colonies.    In this episode, Schenkman uncovers a bombshell story about New Haven's Augusto Rodríguez, the first known Civil War soldier from Puerto Rico. When this story was published in the Summer 2025 issue of Connecticut Explored magazine, the phone started to ring off the hook. Television news channels and newspapers quickly picked up this remarkable story.  Grating the Nutmeg has covered the courageous Puerto Rican men of the 65th regiment founded in 1899 when Puerto Rico became a United States territory in episode #184 but not someone this early in our military history.   A. J. Schenkman is a New York-based writer. He is a social studies teacher in Ulster County, New York, and a former municipal historian. Schenkman is also author of several books about local, regional, and national history. He currently writes for Litchfield and Dutchess Magazines, as well as the Shawangunk Journal.   To contact A.J.

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: if someone reviewed your last 24 hours, would there be enough evidence to convict you of faith, love, and courage? We open in gratitude and prayer, then press into a hard but hopeful reset—less noise, more truth, and a love that shows up in action. From Proverbs' vision of faithful marriage to a bracing read of 1 John 4, we unpack how to test the spirits, confess Christ clearly, and live a love that casts out fear. No fluff, just the kind of clarity that helps you reframe the day ahead.We bring Scripture into real life with Psalm 123's plea for mercy amid contempt and Proverbs 29's warning that justice steadies a nation while corruption destroys it. History adds weight: the Medal of Honor courage of Robert Blake, an escaped slave who stood his ground under fire, and Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation calling a divided country to gratitude, repentance, and unity under God. These moments aren't museum pieces; they point to how character, conviction, and prayer change lives and nations.We also face down the false hopes of coercive ideologies, tracing how movements that promise progress often lead to control. The goal isn't outrage; it's discernment and a deeper love that prays for changed hearts while refusing to trade truth for quiet. If your soul has been crowded by hurry, screens, or fear, this conversation offers a practical way back: put God first, honor your marriage and family, serve your neighbor, and stand firm with humility.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a quick review.

Gościem najnowszej Melliny jest legenda polskiej muzyki rockowej John Porter. Rock w Polsce miał wiele ważnych momentów, ale „Helicopters” był tym, który otworzył bramę na oścież. W 1980 roku płyta wpadła jak świeży przeciąg, a w centrum zamieszania John Porter, Walijczyk, który w Polsce znalazł swoje miejsce. Dziś nowa edycja „Helicopters” została po raz pierwszy zremasterowana z oryginalnych taśm i brzmi tak, jakby ktoś zdjął z niej kurz. Porter wspomina, że jak dostawał Fryderka, siedział w domu i oglądał Ligę Mistrzów. Przyznaje, że nigdy nie udało mu się zbudować rodzinnego domu, chociaż próbował i to kilka razy. "Jakoś mi nie idzie. Jestem artystą chyba." - ocenił. Porter choć w Polsce spędził 49 lat wciąż nie ma obywatelstwa polskiego. Jak do tego doszło? O tym w rozmowie z Marcinem Mellerem.

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: what did your last 24 hours reveal about what you truly value? We walk through a practical reset—putting God first, then spouse and family—so your calendar aligns with your convictions. From there, we open Colossians 3 for plainspoken marriage guidance and let 1 John 3 challenge our love to become action, not talk. If faith is real, it should shape how we treat our neighbor, how we spend our money, and how we order our homes.We ground today's anxieties in enduring wisdom. Psalm 122 points us toward worship and peace in the city, while Proverbs 29 warns against stubborn hearts that refuse correction. We remember Boatswain's Mate Robert M. Blair, whose Medal of Honor citation for “cool courage” under fire illustrates how trust in God steels ordinary people for extraordinary moments. That courage extends to cultural clarity: despite modern efforts to cast America as a pagan echo of Rome, the moral sources that formed the founders—Scripture, Blackstone, Montesquieu—bear a Christian imprint. Judge Nathaniel Freeman's early remarks reinforce that aim for a Christian republic with biblical authority in civic life.The heart of our reflection is Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. He names blessings amid civil war, urges penitence for national sins, and calls the people to thank the “Most High God” while seeking healing and unity. His words carry weight now, when polarization and moral drift threaten peace. Gratitude without repentance is thin; repentance without action is hollow. We make the case that daily obedience—time well spent, marriages guarded, neighbors loved—becomes the seed of public renewal. Join us as we trade vague outrage for concrete faithfulness and ask God to steady our steps.If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a moment.

Today we remember Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry - Happy Veterans DayOn May 26, 2008, in Paktya Province, Afghanistan, Army Ranger Leroy A. Petry and his team were ambushed. During the firefight an enemy grenade landed near Petry and several fellow Rangers. Without hesitation Petry grabbed the grenade and attempted to throw it away from the group. The grenade detonated as he was throwing it; Petry survived but lost his right hand. His quick action saved the lives of the soldiers beside him. For that act of conspicuous gallantry he was awarded the Medal of Honor — presented by President Obama in 2011.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

In honor of Veterans Day, Ben Thompson and Producer Andrew Jacobs tell the story of Drew Dennis Dix. History is full of stories about impossible odds—but few come close to what Dix pulled off in Vietnam. In the middle of the massive Viet Cong Tet offensive, Dix—an enlisted Green Beret—went in alone to rescue civilians trapped in a city under siege. Over two harrowing days, he led a one-man mission through enemy territory, dodging sniper fire, clearing buildings, saving dozens of hostages, and turning the tide of the battle. This is the story of calm under fire, raw guts, and the first enlisted Special Forces soldier ever awarded the Medal of Honor.

To mark Veterans Day, host J.R. Martinez sits down with producer Ryan Sweikert to talk about what he’s learned from the stories of veterans who have received the Medal of Honor, how to talk to veterans about their service, and the moments that shaped his life, both in the service and afterward. Medal of Honor Season 3 is coming on May 27th, 2026. In the meantime, we want to hear from you. We’ve put together a listener survey. Tell us what you love about the show. What we can improve on.

Send us a textWhat did your last 24 hours say about what you truly value? We open with a hard look at time and stewardship, then move straight into the heart of marriage with 1 Corinthians 7—where mutual belonging, consent, and devotion to prayer shape a covenant that stands against self-centered scripts. The goal isn't guilt; it's alignment. When God is first and your spouse is next, your calendar starts to tell the truth about your faith.From there we wrestle honestly with John's stark words about sin, assurance, and discernment in a world crowded with pretenders. A clear test emerges: confess Jesus as the Christ and remain in what's been true from the beginning. Psalm 121 steadies the ground beneath our feet with the promise that the Lord neither slumbers nor sleeps, while Proverbs 28 pushes us toward open-eyed generosity to the poor. Faith that rests in God's keeping becomes courage in practice.We bring history to life with a Medal of Honor citation for William Blogdin, a ship's cook at Mobile Bay, who held his station under fire—proof that any role can become a front line when duty calls. Then we read John Langdon's 1785 Thanksgiving proclamation, a public prayer that confesses sin, praises providence, and asks God to bless rulers, labor, learning, and the spread of the gospel. The throughline is simple and urgent: personal holiness and public gratitude can still reshape a home, a church, and a nation.If this conversation stirred you, share it with someone you love, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a rating or review.

Send us a textStart with the hard question: are we using Scripture as a mirror or a weapon? We open by challenging lopsided marriage advice and the cultural habit of demanding obedience from one spouse while excusing the other. With Proverbs 5 as a vivid vision of covenant delight, we press into daily priorities—where our time, energy, and attention actually go—and why God and our spouse deserve the best of what we have, not the leftovers.From there we read 2 Peter 1 and Psalm 119, letting the text set our pace. Peter's ladder of growth—faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love—offers a practical framework for steady character in an unsteady age. His eyewitness testimony to Christ's majesty and the Spirit-inspired nature of prophecy makes the case for Scripture as more than inspiration; it is illumination. Psalm 119 adds the lived angle: God's words as a lamp, sweeter than honey, a guide when the path is crowded with traps and shortcuts. The theme is simple and demanding: clarity comes from the Word, not from the mood of the moment.We then pivot to history with a brief Medal of Honor profile and launch our November tradition of reading American Thanksgiving proclamations, beginning with Congress in 1780. The language is bracing—public humility, repentance, petitions for wisdom in councils, blessing on labor and learning, and a desire for the gospel to spread. That tone exposes a vital distinction: the founders resisted a state-enforced denomination, yet they did not imagine public life without God. Courts, schools, and civic institutions need moral ballast, and Scripture has long served as that steadying force.If you care about marriage that lasts, leadership that serves, and a nation that remembers where wisdom begins, you'll find a path here: give your best hours to God and to your spouse, read the Bible as an owner's manual, and recover a public posture of humility and gratitude. Enjoy the readings, sit with the questions, and share this with someone who needs clarity over noise.

When we think of leadership, we often picture people who command attention, make tough decisions, and guide others through challenge and change. But what truly defines a great leader? And who inspires the leaders we admire most? Host Mo Barrett asked six Medal of Honor Recipients. For them, leadership was forged in the crucible of combat. But their lessons extend far beyond the battlefield – into classrooms, workplaces, families, and communities.   The National Medal of Honor Museum offers an unforgettable journey through the stories of ordinary people who did something extraordinary in service to others. A visit to the Museum is a meaningful experience that will leave visitors of all ages inspired, proud, and deeply connected to the values that unite us.

World War II hero Phil Larimore remains the youngest candidate to ever graduate from Army Officer Training School, which he did at the age of seventeen, on the eve of America's involvement in World War II. Landing on the Anzio beachhead in February 1944, Phil – the youngest commissioned US officer in World War II – was put in charge of an Ammunition Pioneer Platoon of the 3rd Infantry Division. Their job: to deliver ammunition to the frontline foxholes—a dangerous assignment involving regular forays into No Man's Land. As Phil fought his way up the Italian boot, into Southern France and across the Rhine River into Germany, he experienced some of the most intense combat ever. But it was what happened in the final stages of the war, when Phil was sent on a secret mission into Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to find the farm where Hitler was hiding his world-famous Lipizzaner stallions that makes his story incredibly special and is  the ultimate expression of Phil Larimore's life-long love of horses. Like so many veterans of that “greatest generation,” Phil didn't talk much about his war experiences until much later in life, and when he did his stories seemed outrageous to his family and his sons. After his death, his son and our guest Dr. Walt Larimore discovered his father's papers in the attic—and learned that his father's stories were all true. In this episode, Dr. Larimore describes his father's remarkable service to his country, including meeting Eisenhower, losing his leg, fighting to stay in the army, and being awarded  the Distinguished Service Cross, two silver stars, two bronze stars, three Purple Hearts, the Medal of France, the Crois du Garde with a palm, and more. All of this and more is described in Dr. Walt Larimore's remarkable book At First Light.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Political Discussion – “Schumer Shutdown”: Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats, led by Senator Chuck Schumer, are responsible for keeping the government closed. They portray Republicans as trying to reopen the government, while Democrats allegedly refuse. President Trump is praised for redirecting Defense Department funds to pay service members during the shutdown — presented as undermining Democrats’ political strategy. Cruz claims Democrats want taxpayer-funded health care for undocumented immigrants and are motivated by political self-preservation rather than governance. They assert the shutdown will last until after the “No Kings Rally,” described as a left-wing anti-Trump protest in D.C. Advertising Segment: The conversation temporarily shifts into a sponsor ad for “Backyard Butchers,” promoting American ranchers and criticizing “Big Ag.”→ This is a common podcast monetization interlude framed around populist “buy American” messaging. Continuation of Shutdown Debate: Cruz describes the hardship for unpaid federal workers. The conversation emphasizes that Democrats’ alleged political games are causing unnecessary suffering. Cruz speculates the shutdown will only end once moderate or retiring Democrats break ranks. Tribute Segment – Charlie Kirk’s Memorial: The second half of the podcast focuses on Charlie Kirk’s posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. Cruz recounts the event in emotional, spiritual terms, highlighting Erica Kirk’s (his widow’s) public forgiveness of Kirk’s killer. He frames this as a Christian act of grace and gospel testimony. The conversation portrays Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparing him to historical figures like Socrates, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. President Trump’s remarks are quoted extensively, celebrating Kirk as a visionary and moral hero. The discussion closes with reflection on Kirk’s influence on youth, his faith, and his perceived role as a symbol of conservative moral strength. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
