The young soldier jerked upright on his cot, another wave of violent pain tore through him.

Outside, the distant thunder of artillery. But inside conditions were as lethal as the battlefield, more soldiers dying from infection and disease than from enemy bullets.

Again, the young soldier called out: “Please… someo...

Sunlight poured through the windows of the crowded church as hundreds of Americans sat in uneasy silence. The Angel of Death hung over Boston.

For just off the American coastline, a massive French armada was rushing to attack them.

Warships. Troop transports. Thousands of soldiers bent on revenge, pillage, and plunder, to burn Boston to the ground.

Inside the Old South Meetinghouse, at the pulpit stood Thomas Prince. His voic...

Patrick could not forget his miraculous vision commanding him to return.

He could hear the voices of the Irish people pleading with him to bring them Christ’s word. But Patrick knew his former slave masters were without mercy.

They would kill him on sight.

He could have ignored the visions. Almost any other person in his circumstance would have.

Instead, he returned. But not with an army. Alone, with only an inspired messag...

“Give me liberty or give me death!” So said Patrick Henry to a divided America, fearful of standing for independence.

But stand they did.

250 years ago this year, a small group of seemingly ordinary men did something extraordinary. They signed their names to the Declaration of Independence…risking everything!

“Their lives. Their fortunes. Their sacred honor.”

And they didn’t do it for fame or glory.

They did it for you.

In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, Daniel Boone was captured by the Shawnee Indians.

Though a prisoner, he studied their language. When he learned of an impending attack on Boonesborough that was encouraged, supplied, and paid for by the British, he escaped the Shawnee village.

Running 160 miles in five days, he warned the settlement.

The siege that followed was one of Daniel Boone’s finest hours. Heavily outnumb...

Private Audie Murphy, just over five feet tall and 17-years-old, would become the most decorated American soldier of World War II.

But his war record of unbelievable courage and fighting skill did not begin with the war. It began with family hardship and personal tragedy.

His courage came from a deeply personal place. He simply refused to abandon those who depended on him.

His list of battlefield heroics reads like a movie…or...

The iron door slammed shut with a dull thud. The torchlight wavered as the Roman guards stepped back from the cell.

Inside, kneeling on cold stone was a man who was scourged, blood dripping from his torn back. Shackles bit into his wrists and ankles. He awaited the executioner’s heavy sword.

Issuing from the Emperor’s palace the “justice” of Rome—proud, powerful, pitiless—had determined the man’s fate before he could say a word...

It’s hard to find an American frontiersman with greater skill than Kit Carson.

He left home as a young teen. By his early twenties, he was already a seasoned, well-known, mountain man. He spoke Ute, Shoshoni, Navajo, Apache, Comanche, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Paiute, as well as fluent in Spanish.

During the Mexican War, Carson famously snuck through enemy lines running 30 miles barefoot to get help. He earned a well-deserved reputati...

On the day of their execution, Vibia and Felicity were led into the arena.

Vibia was forced to wear a pagan costume, one that a priestess-prostitute in the pagan temples would wear. She tore the pagan robes off her body declaring she had come freely in the name of her Lord and God.

Then, the gates were opened. An enraged, tormented cow charged them.

Vibia Perpetua, trying to protect Felicity, was hurled into the air, landing ...

Though wounded, Lieutenant Matt Urban forced himself to stand.

German machine-gun fire tore at the ground around him. His men were pinned down. A tank lurched forward in a grinding whine, its guns swiveling at them, hunting targets. Matt ignored the pain and the blood spreading on his side, snatching up a bazooka.

He dropped to one knee, sighted and fired. The rocket sizzled on its deadly path, the tank bursting into flames, th...

Across the muddy plain the thunder of Ottoman drums rolled like an approaching storm.

The mightiest empire on earth did not come to negotiate. They came north to conquer and enslave.

100,000 of the Turkish Sultan’s best troops would attack the Christians at Vaslui in the heart of Moldavia. A decisive moment in Christian history.

Standing in opposition to the Sultan’s army was one man—Stephen III of Moldavia.

He was not tall...

The Japanese high command assumed Wake Island would fall easily. On December 11, a Japanese invasion force steamed confidently toward the island. They expected the Americans to surrender without a fight.

That’s not what happened.

In December 1941, when America reeled from the Pearl Harbor defeat and one defeat after another across the Pacific, the Battle for Wake Island by this handful of courageous Americans stood as a victory...

The most defining moment in World War II.

The surrounded and trapped 101st Airborne Division in the Belgian town of Bastogne was about to be slaughtered by a massive German Army during the Battle of the Bulge.

But that was something General George Patton would not allow.

Virtually overnight he pulled his 3rd Army out of heavy fighting in the south, in France, and raced with his tanks northward 100 miles, slugging it out with ...

The Magi, usually referred to as The Three Wise Men of the Nativity, came to honor the “Newborn King” and to present valuable gifts, gifts for a king (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), and to learn if the prophecies were true. Apparently, they were not disappointed.

The Wise Men seemed to understand. They had done their homework!

For anyone on their own life-quest seeking Truth, it is hard to find a better historical example than...

Dr. Martin Luther King understood that a racist nation could never win the Cold War.

The world watched as the Soviet propaganda machine cranked up during the 1950s thru the 1970s, flooding the world with images of American race riots, segregation, and racial injustice. Because of America’s perceived injustices, Communists gained the advantage globally.

But with passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, discrimination laws based upo...

William Marshal, known famously as “The Peacemaker,” stepped forward when the Magna Carta—the first of the great freedom documents promoting individual liberty—was about to be discarded.

He rescued and enforced this pivotal pact of freedom but would never have had the influence necessary without his incredibly heroic and revered life.

For becoming “the world’s greatest knight” was not something anyone expected from a boy of his...

"GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH..."

With British attacks on the rise, the Second Virginia Assembly held an emergency session. PATRICK HENRY arrived in Richmond with a single goal. He rose from his seat with no notes in hand.

“If we wish to be free, we must fight!” He shouted. “An appeal to arms, and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us. For the next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of res...

A Pilgrim child saw a naked figure watching their village from the trees. Some became afraid.

Finally, as the Pilgrims worked near the edge of a clearing, a native man stepped calmly out of the woods and strolled easily towards them wearing nothing but a loincloth.

What shocked them most was when he called out to them…in perfect English!

The man’s name was SQUANTO. And his miraculous story was so impossible at first no one be...

It’s a true injustice when our illustrious heroes are purposely “cancelled” because of the too-common curse of professional jealousy and power politics.

Sadly, it’s even more prevalent today and why a large majority of Americans no longer trust our media.

For one of America’s finest cryptographers, a man who singlehandedly saved the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet and delivered the Japanese Navy to American dive bombers at the Battle o...
