The Marc Cox Morning Show pauses for something truly special — a story about sacrifice, honor, and the kind of American patriotism that never goes out of style. Grafton Mayor Mike Morrow joins to share the breathtaking story behind the National Memorial of Military Ascent, twelve life-size bronze soldiers scaling a Mississippi River bluff in a stunning tribute to the U.S. Army Rangers who stormed the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. From a God-sent moment on River Road to $3.5 million raised, real young men scanned and cast in bronze, and a three-star general set to dedicate the monument — this is what community, faith, and love of country look like in action. And Mike Morrow did it all without taking a single dollar in salary. The dedication is Saturday, June 6th at 9:30 a.m. in Grafton — and if you have any love for the men who gave everything for this country, you need to be there. Don't miss it.

Hour 4 moves from breaking international coverage of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's remarks at a NATO summit in Sweden, where he defended U.S. force posture adjustments and highlighted Sweden's strengthened role within the alliance, into a detailed look at the National Memorial of Military Ascent in Grafton, Missouri, honoring Army Rangers who scaled Pointe du Hoc on D-Day. The hour then shifts to Guns N Hoses Queen of Hearts results, announcing the latest winning draw and promoting continued participation in support of Backstoppers, before ending with a personal on-air story about a golden retriever that panicked during a coffee shop outing, broke free while dragging a chair through traffic, and caused damage to a parked vehicle—an incident that turned into an unexpected insurance headache and comedic reflection on pet unpredictability. Guests: Sue Thomas Hashtags: #MarcoRubio #NATO #GraftonMemorial #DDay #ArmyRangers #GunsNHoses #QueenOfHearts #Backstoppers #StLouisNews #PetStory

Sue Thomas joins the program with updates on Secretary of State Marco Rubio's comments from a NATO summit in Sweden, where he emphasized Sweden's strengthened role in the alliance and pushed back on questions about U.S. force posture and global commitments. The conversation shifts to a major local history project in Grafton, Missouri—the National Memorial of Military Ascent—featuring 12 life-size bronze Army Rangers recreating the historic Pointe du Hoc climb during D-Day. Thomas explains how the memorial, inspired by a visit from Grafton's mayor, aims to honor the 225 Rangers who scaled the cliffs under heavy fire, suffering heavy casualties while taking out German positions. She also notes the artistic and logistical challenges behind casting the statues, the fundraising effort still underway for the full visitor center, and the official unveiling planned for June 6, aligned with the anniversary of D-Day.

At the turn of the 20th century, the American Chestnut tree was the most important plant in the eastern United States, accounting for over 25% of the forest canopy. But in a period of just 50 years, a mysterious blight, an imported fungus, swept the country and killed over four billion trees. Join Jason Epperson for Parkography as we explore the rise and fall of the majestic American Chestnut and the incredible, ongoing effort to bring the species back. A major part of this mission is taking place on one of our nation's most hallowed grounds: the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Learn about the tree's vital role in the American landscape and economy, the devastating chestnut blight, and the pioneering "backcross" technique scientists and volunteers are using to plant blight-resistant seedlings in the memory of American heroes.
