YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this week's episode of Meidas Defense, Hell Cats co-hosts Maura Sullivan and Rebecca Bennett — a Marine Corps officer and a Navy helicopter pilot — sit down after the Fourth of July to ask what patriotism actually means in America right now.

Along the way: Maura reading the Declaration of Independence with her Marines in Iraq, Rebecca squawking transponder code 1776 on a deployed Fourth of July, and the bipartisan veterans' caucus that washed the Vietnam Wall together over Memorial Day — and gave them real hope that country can still come before party.
