In this week’s episode, we celebrate Flag Day and commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States Army. Exploring the enduring legacy of service, sacrifice, and the symbols that unite us. Join us for a heartfelt celebration of military history, national pride, and the individuals who continue to serve in extraordinary ways.
We first speak with U.S. Army Colonel (ret.) Christine Cook
Cook holds a Ph.D. in History from Wayne State University, M.A. in Women and Gender Studies from Eastern Michigan University, and B.A. in English Literature from Princeton University. Her research and U.S. Army War College News Archives scholarship works to fill the gap in historical knowledge of women in the military.
Professor Cook retired as a Colonel with thirty years of service in the National Guard and US Army Reserve. Professor Cook has worked in the US Army War College’s Department of Distance Education for ten years as a Drilling Individual Mobilization Augmentee. In 2022, she joined the department faculty. Cook will teach the Strategic Leadership Course to first-year Distance Education students, the foundational course of the Distance Education Program.
We’re then joined by Recording Artist Dave Caley
We also spotlight a patriotic tribute: “Raise It High,” a song written by Keith Bradford and recorded by USMC Veteran and Nashville recording artist Dave Caley. Created for the American Braille Flag Project, this powerful anthem honors blind and visually impaired veterans by helping them “see” the flag through touch and music.
