"The Andrew Jackson Shooting"

What many people don't know is that Abraham Lincoln was not the first attempted Presidential assassination.  Of course, we all know that he did not survive the shooting, but there was another attempt on a president's life and his name was Andrew Jackson.  This story has two very odd parts - 1) The assination was attempted, but he was not shot and 2) The court's decision from this clear murderest attempt was not what anyone thought the decision would be. 
 
Listen to this story and learn what is still being used today.  

"Memorial Day - To Remember"

This "You Are There" is about remembering and honoring our veterans who fought to keep us free and safe.
 
We need to remember why we have a Memorial Day and not treat it as a day to shop for great deals, but to talk to families that lost that loved one fighting for our country.
 
 

"Honoring Our Military"

To be a hero you don't necessarily have to save someone from a burning building, or jump into freezing water to save someone from drowning - we are told in Webster's Dictionary what the true hero can be.
 
Listen and remember and honor those who have given their last full measure of devotion in war for our America. 

"Jesus - His Price Paid On Good Friday"

Did you know that Jesus came to earth to do something that he did not want to do?  

"Rick Monday - Don't Burn The Flag"

This is the true story of one of the most dramatic efforts to burn our U.S. Flag in front of 10's of thousands of people and on television. 
 
Some believe that our flag is just a piece of cloth.  But just like our Bible, it's just not paper writings, it is a powerful picture of what we must know about our country and our American Flag, the red for sacrifice, the white for seeking purity as a nation and a people, and blue to remind us that our powerful help comes from Almighty God.
 
This is a great story, and make sure to listen to the end to see what the crowd did after the flag was saved.
 

"Get In The Wheelbarrow"

Question:
Have you made yourself to believe that because you aren't some superstar at what you do that you don't have anything to offer in life to anyone? The truth is this, we all have something to give and each of us is an important part of God's Plan for our country.  The story today is about doing.
After you hear the story, pass it on and encourage others to never stop doing.

"USS Sultana"

Today, all around the world people believe that one of the largest ship wrecks ever was the Titanic.  But did you know that in April of 1865, there was a shipwreck that killed more people than the Titanic and it happened on the Mississippi River in the U.S. 
 
And, there were more passengers killed than the Titanic.  
 
Listen, learn, enjoy!

"Jackie Robinson"

It is hard to believe that there was ever a time in our America when citizens would be disallowed from participating in anything that our nation has to offer.
 
But there was a time that Negros could not play in Major Leagure Baseball - this story today is about one Major League Team owner who decided to be the first to bring in a Negro on his team. 
 
This is an amazing story of courage and determination that cannot be ignored. 

"St Patrick's Day"

With St Patrick's Day behind us, there are many who do not know the story behind why we have this holiday.  Some think it is for the Green Beer and the Irish Stew, but there is a great story of how St. Patrick's Day began. 
 
You will be enlightened if you haven't heard this true story before.

"The Invention That Killed A President"

With all of the strange stories I tell about our U.S History, you may think that you have heard them all.
 
But the story that I am about to tell you today may be the "strangest strange story" you have ever heard.
 
Be prepared!
