Our American Stories

How Gettysburg Influenced D-Day Through Eisenhower

On this episode of Our American Stories, if there was a single moment in American history—and a single man—that Dwight D. Eisenhower looked to for guidance and inspiration drawn from history, it was Gettysburg and Abraham Lincoln. Gettysburg NPS Ranger Daniel Vermilya tells the story of this meaningful connection. <a href="https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate">Support the show</a> (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
