I Choose America
Every day, people choose America.
Some fought for it.
Some risked everything to get here.
Some never left—but still believe in what it stands for.
I Choose America is a podcast about those people.
In a time when negativity about this country is louder than ever, this show focuses on something deeper: the stories behind the choice.
Each episode asks one simple question:
Why do you choose America?
Because behind every answer is a story worth hearing, and a country worth defending.

What does it really cost to defend a nation?
In this episode, Walker and Bracken tell the powerful—and heartbreaking—story of the only 4 Gold Star Family of WW2, the Borgstrom brothers, a Utah family who gave nearly everything during World War II.
One by one, the Borgstrom sons answered the call to serve. And one by one, tragedy followed.
Their story is one of duty, sacrifice, and the brutal reality of war—when the cost isn’t just measured in battles won, but in families forever changed.
This episode dives into:
- The lives of the Borgstrom brothers before the war
- The devastating losses that shook an entire community
- How their sacrifice impacted military policy in the United States
- And what their story means for how we understand service and country today
This isn’t just a war story.
It’s a reminder of what freedom has required from ordinary American families—and why those sacrifices should never be forgotten.
If you care about American history, honor, and the true cost of freedom—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
