Episode 95: As we prepare to celebrate our nationās 245th birthday, many Americans seem to have a distorted view of what it means to be patriotic or donāt consider themselves to be patriotic at all.
When asked, many people ā of all political persuasions ā say weāre doing so many things wrong in this country, we donāt have a reason to celebrate.
Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada talk about why patriotism is important and what steps we can take to bring back this important virtue.
