As America approaches its 250th anniversary and Memorial Day, Larry O'Connor sits down with David From of the American Potential podcast to reflect on what those who gave their lives actually sacrificed for - and why citizenship means more than most Americans realize.

George Patton said it best…
“Don't mourn the men who died - thank God that such men lived.”
