America’s Birthday: The Real Story with Guest David Barton

As you prepare to celebrate the 246th anniversary of America’s independence on July 4th, will it just be a day off to eat hot dogs and enjoy fireworks? We hope not! On today’s special pre- Independence Day edition of Family Talk, David Barton, founder of Wallbuilders, takes a look at our country’s biblical foundations. For example, in May, 1778, General George Washington told his 11,000 soldiers positioned at Valley Forge in the midst of the Revolutionary War that, “To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”
