Starting today, America's Forgotten Heroes boasts seven action-packed episodes that will drop daily,
00:00:33.160
each featuring a man who never attained widespread notoriety, despite saving America at some of its
00:00:38.600
darkest hours. Each of these men exhibited such courage under pressure, it's hard to believe they
00:00:43.940
even existed, which is exactly why you will love hearing their stories. America's Forgotten Heroes
00:00:50.020
is a trip that takes you back in history to a time where language wasn't violence, where brave men
00:00:55.600
paid in blood for the freedom that many use to complain about microaggressions and pronouns today.
00:01:01.300
One of these men is Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a college professor turned volunteer soldier for
00:01:06.160
the Union Army and a Civil War icon, according to historians. Better known as the Lion of Little
00:01:11.820
Round Top, Chamberlain's most famous accomplishment was during the Battle of Gettysburg, where his regiment
00:01:17.160
was stationed at a critical position for the Union Army's defense and suffered multiple attacks from
00:01:21.940
Confederate troops. Knowing that they would not be able to withstand another Confederate attack,
00:01:27.020
Chamberlain decided to launch a bayonet charge at Confederate soldiers, a bold, risky, and effective
00:01:32.320
maneuver that secured the Union Army's victory at Gettysburg. His story isn't the only one.
00:01:38.180
Ernest E. Evans was a World War II naval officer who fought in the Battle of Sumar. During the war,
00:01:43.640
a small U.S. naval task unit was ambushed by a large Japanese fleet of 23 ships,
00:01:48.440
hell-bent on destroying the American Navy. Though almost completely unprepared,
00:01:53.640
Evans and his men managed to attack the Japanese forces in one of the greatest last stands in
00:01:58.060
naval history, and in the face of almost certain death. Here's the trailer for America's Forgotten
00:02:05.520
Hi, everybody. I'm Bill Whittle, and I'd like to introduce you to seven men who have made this
00:02:10.000
country so exceptional. John Paul Jones, who sailed home from war 129 years after he sailed into it.
00:02:16.140
Frank Luke, the World War I fighter ace who drew his sidearm in a desperate situation.
00:02:21.160
Booker T. Washington, a man who came into the world as someone else's property and who left it
00:02:25.960
with a foolproof formula for racial harmony. Jimmy Doolittle, the perfect combination of brains,
00:02:31.760
guts, and skill running up his engines a long way from home. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain,
00:02:36.560
a man so profoundly wise that he could see the great wheel of history revolving around him in real
00:02:41.740
time. Ernest Evans, a U.S. Navy commander whose vow to never run away from the enemy triggered the
00:02:47.220
most amazing two hours in U.S. history. And Dick Rutan, combat pilot, test pilot, and the man who
00:02:53.980
nailed the last standing record in aviation history with a little help from his baby brother.
00:02:59.200
These are America's Forgotten Heroes, and if you join me, I guarantee you will come out of these
00:03:04.800
seven episodes as awestruck, proud, and grateful as I did.
00:03:15.800
There's just something about the way Bill Whittle says it. I don't know. There's something that's
00:03:19.220
real. I can't wait. I mean, I always loved Bill's series, and this one probably more than any of them.
00:03:25.080
