July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — a monumental milestone in American history. In this special episode, we explore the significance of the Semiquincentennial, how communities across the U.S. (especially along the Mississippi Gulf Coast) are preparing to celebrate, and what this moment means for Americans today.

We’ll reflect on the bold vision of the Founding Fathers, the price of independence, including the staggering statistic that 1 in every 100 Americans died during the Revolutionary War — and how this anniversary offers an opportunity to come together as a nation.

From fireworks and parades to deeper conversations about liberty and progress, join us as we commemorate 250 years of freedom, struggle, and the ongoing American story.

Listen to some facts that you may not have known about our country's founding.
