In this video, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth discusses the 250th anniversary of June 14, 1775, when thousands of citizen soldiers answered freedom’s call to fill the ranks of the Continental Army. Hegseth traces this proud origin story of the U.S. Army, a force “born in turmoil, uncertainty, and nearly insurmountable odds.”
This is the latest episode of “The Story of America,” a series produced in a partnership between Hillsdale College, the White House’s Salute to America 250 Task Force, and the U.S. Department of Education.
