| America needs more heroes, so the Daily Wire is providing some. | |
| Our newest podcast, America's Forgotten Heroes, is available now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, so go subscribe and leave a five-star review if you like what you hear. | |
| America's Forgotten Heroes contains seven action-packed episodes that will each drop daily. | |
| Our goal with these stories is to give recognition where it's due, because too many of them have faded into the obscurity of the past, which is unfair and unwarranted. | |
| America's Forgotten Heroes is a trip That takes you back in history to a time where language wasn't literally violence, where brave men paid in blood for the freedom that many used to complain about microaggressions and pronouns and things today. | |
| One such man was Ernest E. Evans, a World War II naval officer who fought in the Battle of Sumar. | |
| In the battle, a small U.S. | |
| naval task unit was ambushed by a large Japanese fleet of 23 ships, hell-bent on destroying the American Navy. | |
| Though almost completely unprepared, Evans and his men managed to attack the Japanese forces in one of the greatest last stands in naval history, and just a dramatic and incredible story, and a real-life story. | |
| Or take Frank Luke, a 21-year-old fighter pilot in World War I. Young, talented, arrogant. | |
| Luke sometimes butted heads with his peers and commanding officers, especially when he disregarded direct orders and occasionally tended to fly solo, but he secured a spot in history after shooting down 18 German aircrafts in 18 days. | |
| That is what we call efficiency. | |
| Now, two Air Force bases boast his name. | |
| I seriously cannot recommend it enough. | |
| Let's check out the trailer now. | |
| Hi everybody, I'm Bill Whittle and I'd like to introduce you to seven men who have made this country so exceptional. | |
| John Paul Jones, who sailed home from war 129 years after he sailed into it. | |
| Frank Luke, the World War I fighter ace who drew his sidearm in a desperate situation. | |
| Booker T. Washington, a man who came into the world as someone else's property and who left it with a foolproof formula for racial harmony. | |
| Jimmy Doolittle, the perfect combination of brains, guts, and skill, running up his engines a long way from home. | |
| Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a man so profoundly wise that he could see the great wheel of history revolving around him in real time. | |
| Ernest Evans, a U.S. | |
| Navy commander who's vowed to never run away from the enemy, triggered the most amazing two hours in U.S. | |
| history. | |
| And Dick Rutan, combat pilot, test pilot, and the man who nailed the last standing record in aviation history, With a little help from his baby brother. | |
| These are America's Forgotten Heroes. | |
| And if you join me, I guarantee you will come out of these seven episodes as awestruck, proud, and grateful as I did. | |
