Honoring The Fallen By Telling Their Stories

On Memorial Day, Americans across the country are honoring fallen heroes and celebrating the freedom made possible by their sacrifice. Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier joins the Rundown to discuss his two new documentary specials streaming on Fox Nation, ‘The Unauthorized History of the Vietnam War’ and ‘Lost Ships of WWII’ that give a deep dive into these moments of U.S. history when military heroes stepped up to the occasion. He explains how these two documentary series explore overlooked and recently discovered details about these historic parts of U.S. history and the importance of reexamining these generation-defining wars on Memorial Day.

At the turn of the 20th century, as war became a common reality for the United States, Americans turned to war correspondents to give them first-hand accounts from active war zones, keeping them informed about what was truly happening on the ground. More and more, the world has relied on these journalists to put themselves in harm’s way to provide critical reporting, but the job of a war correspondent is dangerous and, in some cases, deadly. Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin joins the podcast to break down her and her fellow correspondents’ intense experiences reporting in war zones and the physical and mental toll covering war closely has on journalists.

Plus, commentary by author and vice president of communications for Focus on The Family, Paul Batura.
